There's this motion that's started in the past year or so where I guess the use cases for Tailscale have gone from just internal within a company.
So it's like I'm using it to replace my VPN or I'm using it to access production or I'm using it to deploy infrastructure within my company.
So people are starting to use Tailscale to deploy infrastructure to their customers.
So for instance, there's a couple of cloud provider startups that are using us in a way that they bring up a tail net, is what we call it, per customer.
And so they connect a bunch of, say, bare metal GPUs with customer infrastructure, and they spin up one of these per customer, and then they manage it.
there's this ability to create multiple tailnets inside of your organization now.
So people are starting to do that to build, say, like a staging tailnet or a testing tailnet or a production tailnet, that kind of stuff.
What I've been working more on over the past, I guess, year now is building, I guess, applications and services on top of this platform.
So showing people like, oh, you can create a tailnet
it has these very interesting primitives where identity and connectivity and security are baked in.
Well, look how easy it is to build applications on top of these tailnets and deploy them within a bit of private infrastructure.
And that has gotten me, I guess, more involved in things like agentic workloads and
That kind of stuff where you want really tight boundaries on who can do what with identity associated with all those actions and some kind of compliance trail and all that kind of fun stuff.
Well, the thing we started with earlier last year is that we revived a project, an internal project called TSIDP, which, like a lot of things that we've built at Tailscale, we don't do a great job of telling the world about.
TSIDP was...
in our community projects repo.
We've done a bunch of work on it a year or two prior.
And for those of you who don't know what it is, and it's probably most of your listeners.
That's me too.
So TSIVP, you can think of it
