How is Azure Bastion charged?

Summary of the article:

Azure Bastion is a service in Microsoft Azure that provides secure and seamless RDP/SSH access to virtual machines. It is billed hourly based on the SKU selected, number of scale units configured, and data transfer rates. Azure Bastion is deployed per virtual network and supports virtual network peering. It requires a dedicated subnet named AzureBastionSubnet in the same virtual network. The pricing for Azure Bastion connections is based on the number of simultaneous connections, ranging from $0.01 per hour for up to 4 connections to $0.10 per hour for up to 50 connections. When using Azure Bastion, there are limitations when it comes to fixing boot issues on Windows and compatibility with browsers other than Edge. The cost of Azure hosting can be expensive due to the base cost of the Azure platform and additional services and licenses that businesses may need to pay for. Azure resources are billed per subscription, and organizations often create multiple subscriptions for billing and management purposes.

What are the disadvantages of Azure Bastion

Azure Bastion Cons

When you have a boot issue on Windows, you cannot use Azure Bastion to fix it. You have to use the Azure console or the VM console, and it is very limited. There are some challenges because Bastion is more compatible with Edge but not with the other browsers.

Why is Azure hosting so expensive

The first is the cost of the cloud platform itself. The base cost of the Azure platform is already fairly expensive and can quickly add up for businesses.

Does Azure Bastion need its own virtual network

Azure Bastion subnet

Azure Bastion requires a dedicated subnet: AzureBastionSubnet. You must create this subnet in the same virtual network that you want to deploy Azure Bastion to. The subnet must have the following configuration: Subnet name must be AzureBastionSubnet.

What is the difference between Azure VPN and Azure Bastion

With Azure Bastion, you connect to the virtual machine directly from the Azure portal. You don't need an additional client, agent, or piece of software. A Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN gateway connection lets you create a secure connection to your virtual network from an individual client computer.

How is Azure Bastion deployed

The Bastion host is deployed in the virtual network that contains the AzureBastionSubnet subnet that has a minimum /26 prefix. The user connects to the Azure portal using any HTML5 browser.

Launch containers with hypervisor isolation

With Azure Container Instances, you can easily run containers with a single command. Get started in seconds and lower your infrastructure costs by taking advantage of per second billing and custom machine sizes.
