The information on https://runops.io/ is light, does not have information on examples, workflow etc.

what is the setup like (is it cloud hosted or hosted by onself in a cloud). Is your code open source? how is authn/authz if I want to use this?

Yes, we have a lot of work to do on our landing page to better explain these points. It's early days, but we will get there! Here is some light on them:

It's cloud hosted, and we do support self-hosting for enterprises. The code is not open-source. We support Okta, Google, and other OAuth providers for Authentication. For Authorization we have the concept of Targets, which are abstractions of your cloud resources to users/developers. Say you have a Mysql database, you can create a read-only Target and let everyone use it, and create a second Target for the same database with write access. In the second Target you require reviews from tech leads, or let selected groups run queries.

Thanks!.

how does your service compare to services such as teleport

Teleport is a fantastic tool. The main difference are: 1) Runops doesn't require you to have tools (kubectl, psql, etc) installed locally and don't download temporary credentials to access resources, commands execute in the Cloud. 2) Runops has synchronous reviews workflows on the command/intent level, again as opposed to getting an open session for a period of time. 2) We automatically remove sensitive data from the results of every command. 4) Runops uses Git as the source of truth for the audit trails.
