Paralus is a free, open source tool that enables controlled, audited access for developers & SREs to your Kubernetes infrastructure. It comes with just-in-time service account creation and user-level credentials management that integrates with your RBAC/SSO solution.
It eliminates the burden of having to configure and manage Kubernetes Role Based Access Control cluster by cluster. Streamline and consolidate access control for your fleet of clusters spanning different operating environments, different clouds (EKS, AKS, etc.), and on-premises data centers operating behind firewalls. A single login gives authorized users (e.g., developers, operations, contractors, etc.) seamless and secure access to all clusters with a native and familiar kubectl experience.
Our engineers have put together a set of documents to help you get started quickly:
- Zero Trust Kubernetes with zero friction

The easiest way to start is to look at existing issues and see if there’s something there that you’d like to work on. You can filter issues with the label “Good first issue” which are relatively self sufficient issues and great for first time contributors.
Once you decide on an issue, please comment on it so that all of us know that you’re on it.
If you’re looking to add a new feature, raise a new issue and start a discussion with the community. Engage with the maintainers of the project and work your way through.
