Bastion: Fastest and easiest connection to your Azure VMs through portal
Use 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!
