Azure Bastion alternatives
Azure Bastion is a managed platform for having remote desktop protocol (RDP) and Secure Shell (SSH) in virtual networks. It allows the creation of an outer-facing host that can be used to manage virtual networks and their resources, including Azure Stack, Azure, On-premises resources, Third-party cloud providers, etc. The platform also allows users to get to their external-facing resources through multiple pathways, such as direct access from the internet or from Azure Stack and through a Virtual Private Network connection or ExpressRoute.
All the infrastructure is managed for you and gives you the ability to create an RDP or SSH connection from your on-premises environment into a virtual network subnet without any additional VPN hardware or software. What makes Azure Bastion special is that it’s fully managed for you in the cloud. All you have to do is manage your virtual machines through PowerShell DSC or your existing automation tools and then connect using either RDP or SSH and enjoy secure remote access.
