Azure Bastion Secure RDP Architecture

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a vital tool for managing Windows Servers across both cloud and on-premises environments. However, exposing management ports directly to the public internet creates a massive security vulnerability. To solve this, administrators can use Azure Bastion, which is a fully managed platform service that provides secure RDP access over SSL. This service allows users to connect to virtual machines directly through the Azure portal without assigning public IP addresses to those servers.
