FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Azure Bastion in a hub and spoke topology?▼

Azure Bastion provides secure and seamless RDP and SSH access to virtual machines directly from the Azure portal over TLS. It eliminates the need for a public IP address on your VMs, reducing exposure to internet-based threats.

What is the best way to secure remote access to Azure VMs without a public IP?▼

Azure Bastion provides secure RDP and SSH access to virtual machines directly from the Azure portal over TLS. It eliminates the need for a public IP address on your VMs, reducing exposure to internet-based threats while streamlining administration.

How do I troubleshoot Azure Bastion connectivity and access issues?▼

Troubleshoot Azure Bastion connectivity by verifying network security group rules, checking RBAC permissions, and validating that the target VM's network configuration allows traffic. Reviewing Bastion session logs helps identify specific access or performance bottlenecks.

Does Azure Bastion work with AKS clusters and VM scale sets?▼

Yes, Azure Bastion integrates with AKS clusters and VM scale sets by providing a secure access pathway through private networks. You can route administrative traffic through Bastion to reach private cluster nodes without exposing them externally.

How do I choose the right Azure Bastion SKU for cost-aware deployment?▼

Choosing the right Azure Bastion SKU depends on your required connection limits and features. Evaluate your concurrent session needs and compare Basic versus Standard SKUs to balance cost-aware deployment sizing with necessary performance and security features.
