How to Implement Azure Bastion

Secure remote access solution using Azure Bastion Host for entire Azure VMs

What is Azure Bastion Why we should use?
Azure Bastion is replacement of Jump-server (jump-box). By Azure Bastion you can access your Azure VMs over Private IP instead of Public IP using Remote Desktop (RDP) and Secure SHell (SSH) using browser on 443 secure port & SSL Certificate and best part of it you can copy any thing from base machine to connected server.

As of now we use to deeply VM for jump server which is costly and needs to maintain where is Azure Bastion Host is cheaper, effectively more secure and simpler to maintain scalable. It can be use for auditing purpose as well. Microsoft has already invested on more 1 USD billion on it and later you will be getting video recording feature and many more.
