Description

Azure Bastion integration with Azure Kubernetes Service is now generally available. Customers can establish a secure tunnel from their local machine through Azure Bastion to an AKS cluster API server. 

The integration enables customers to use standard Kubernetes tools while avoiding public exposure of private cluster endpoints. It reduces the need to deploy and maintain separate jump boxes, VPN servers, or additional access agents.
