services / Azure / Bastion Host

Azure Bastion is a managed PaaS jump host deployed in a VNet that brokers secure browser-based RDP/SSH connectivity to VMs without exposing public IPs on those VMs.

A production secure-access entry point into a private network; controlling or observing it affects reachability of all VMs behind it.
