About this tag
Azure Bastion is a managed platform service that provides secure RDP and SSH connectivity to Azure virtual machines directly from the Azure portal, eliminating the need for public IP addresses on VMs. Recent discussions on WindowsForum highlight two key developments: a public preview enabling Entra ID authentication for RDP sessions through Bastion, allowing portal-based connections to use organizational identities instead of local VM passwords, and a high-priority elevation of privilege vulnerability (CVE-2025-49752) that administrators should mitigate promptly. These threads underscore Bastion's role in cloud security and identity-based access, with best practices for securing Azure environments also referencing Bastion as a component of a robust cloud architecture.
