help on bastion -

Question

Q1. What does this mean exactly? would you be able to break it down?
Bastion servers also provide RDP and SSH connectivity to the workloads sitting behind the bastion, as well as further inside the network

Q2. is this statement correct
We can look at Bastion as a Microsoft managed jump box.
(A Jump box is a VM that sits over a VN & prevents Vms from being exposed to the public. It acts like as a doorway to all RDP connections)

Answer 1

Hello,

Primary purpose of Bastion is to access your VM's securely from browser instead of RDP or SSH. It can also acts as Jump box to connect to the VM's in another VNet as long as there is a connectivity exits between both the VNet's.
