Azure Bastion provides secure browser-based remote access to Azure virtual machines and private resources directly over TLS, eliminating the need to expose public IPs and reducing the overall attack surface.

Architecture guidance for hub/spoke and VNet designs with Azure Bastion ensures scalable access patterns and controlled connectivity for private networks. This approach centralizes secure remote login and session management across spoke environments.

Azure Bastion supports identity integration with Entra ID and Kerberos where applicable, enabling security hardening and controlled access. This integration provides audit trails and session monitoring for compliance in private network deployments.

Azure Bastion enables controlled access to AKS clusters and private network deployments without exposing public IPs. It supports private-only deployments and scalable access patterns for secure remote login and session management.

Session monitoring and audit trails for compliance are supported through Azure Bastion's security hardening features. These capabilities track remote login activity and integrate with identity providers to maintain controlled access visibility.
