Bastion: Fastest and easiest connection to your Azure VMs through portal
Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Azure Bastion mainly to connect to our Active Directory Domain Controller servers for fast, secure and relaible connection. Azure Bastion is very easy to use, directly through Azure Portals, and it is web based making it usable in many other platforms withough using a Remote Desktop Connection. Te only issue is copy past feature. It is hard challenging to copy and past from your local machine to Bastion VM. More features are needed for this!
Pros
- Fast browser based connection
- Secure and Reliable
- Ease of use
Cons
- Flexibility in copy paste feature (resticts it)
- More control during the boot of VMs
Likelihood to Recommend
It is the best suited to access your Azure VM's fast, secure and with a reliable connection. It may be less suitable then and RDP connection in case you need more customization with your networking especcially with your subnets. Also copy paste feature can be a limitation.
