# Machine ID
Machine ID is a service that programmatically issues and renews short-lived
certificates to any service account (e.g., a CI/CD server) by retrieving
credentials from the Teleport Auth Service. This enables fine-grained
role-based access controls and audit.
Machine ID supports the following Teleport features:
- [Server Access](./getting-started.mdx)
- [Database Access](./guides/databases.mdx)
- [Kubernetes Access](./guides/kubernetes.mdx) (*in Teleport v10.1*)
- [Application Access](./guides/applications.mdx) (*in Teleport v10.1*)
- Note: [AWS Console](../application-access/cloud-apis/aws-console.mdx) and API access is currently unsupported.
- [Teleport API Access](../api/introduction.mdx)
These features are supported in Teleport Enterprise and Teleport Cloud.
The following features are **not** yet supported by Machine ID:
- [Desktop Access](../desktop-access/introduction.mdx)
- [User Impersonation](../access-controls/guides/impersonation.mdx): Machine
ID uses Role Impersonation which cannot be combined with User Impersonation
- Multifactor authentication like [WebAuthn](../access-controls/guides/webauthn.mdx) and [Passwordless](../access-controls/guides/passwordless.mdx)
- [AWS Console Access](../application-access/cloud-apis/aws-console.mdx)
