Azure Bastion

Azure Bastion is a fully managed service that enables secure and seamless RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) and SSH (Secure Shell) connectivity to virtual machines (VMs) in your Azure Virtual Network, without exposing them to the public internet. By deploying Azure Bastion within a virtual network, you can access your VMs securely through the Azure portal using an encrypted connection, eliminating the need for public IP addresses on your VMs. This service enhances security by mitigating common attack vectors, such as brute force attacks and network scanning, and by providing an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access. Azure Bastion is designed to be easy to deploy and manage, integrating directly with Azure's network infrastructure, and it supports both Windows and Linux VMs.
