General availability: Azure Bastion Developer SKU
Published date: May 13, 2024
The new Bastion Developer SKU offers a convenient and secure solution for connecting to VMs in Azure at no extra cost. Bastion Developer allows users to establish a secure one-click connection to a single VM at a time without exposing public IPs on the VMs. Rather than deploying dedicated resources into the customer VNET like other Bastion SKUs, Bastion Developer utilizes a shared pool of resources managed internally by Microsoft for secure VM connectivity. Users can directly access their VMs through the connect experience on the VM blade in portal, with support for RDP/SSH on the portal and SSH-only for CLI sessions. Bastion Developer is perfect for Dev/Test users seeking secure VM connections without the need for additional features, configuration, or scaling.
At this time, Bastion Developer is limited to the following regions: Central United States EUAP, East United States 2 EUAP, West Central United States. North Central United States, West United States, and North Europe. Support for all public regions is coming soon.
