About this Hands-on Lab

Azure Bastion enables remote connectivity to a virtual machine (VM) without the need for a public IP address on the virtual machine or the requirement to deploy and manage jump boxes. In this lab, you will create a virtual machine that does not have a public IP address and create an Azure Bastion resource. Then you will connect securely to the virtual machine with Azure Bastion.
