socat-tunneller

A port-forward proxy. Allows an onward connection from the cluster to some other host in your cluster's network, eg your hosted database/cache/other service.

In practice, this means that a hosted service can be made available only to the cluster, then cluster users can be granted access by giving them permission to run port-forward on the tunneller.
