Description

With the Azure Bastion shareable links feature, you can now connect to a target resource (virtual machine or virtual machine scale set) using Azure Bastion without accessing the Azure portal.

This feature will solve two key pain points:

  • Administrators will no longer have to provide full access to their Azure accounts to one-time VM users—helping to maintain their privacy and security.
  • Users without Azure subscriptions can seamlessly connect to VMs without exposing RDP/SSH ports to the public internet.

Now generally available, the shareable links feature is supported for peered VNETs across subscriptions and across regions. It is also supported for national clouds.
