What is Cardea?
Cardea is an SSH bastion server with access control, session recording, and optional TPM-backed key protection, designed for small and mid-sized teams that manage infrastructure through code. Access rules live in a text file, so they can be reviewed in pull requests and versioned like any other configuration. It can be used as-is or as a building block for a larger system that generates the configuration from an external source of truth. No database or web UI is required.
