What component of Azure Bastion ensures secure management without exposing public IPs?

Firewall
Virtual Network Gateway
Private Link
The bastion host

The correct answer is: The bastion host

The bastion host is the component of Azure Bastion that plays a crucial role in ensuring secure management of virtual machines without exposing them to public IP addresses. Azure Bastion provides a managed platform that enables secure and seamless RDP and SSH connectivity to virtual machines directly in the Azure portal over SSL. When using Azure Bastion, the bastion host acts as a gateway that sits within the virtual network, allowing users to connect to their virtual machines through their web browsers without needing any public IP assigned to the VMs themselves. This significantly improves security since it reduces the attack surface by limiting the need for public IPs and avoids direct exposure of the VMs to the internet. Additionally, the bastion host manages the connections and maintains secure communication by leveraging secure protocols, ensuring that management tasks can be performed safely from anywhere, while all traffic to and from the virtual machines is kept within the Azure network environment. This architecture makes Azure Bastion an essential component for organizations looking to enhance the security of their virtual machine management.
