Connect my VM in US East to a Bastion Host in North Central US

Question

Connect my VM in US East to a Bastion Host in North Central US

Operations 61

Most of my reources including VM are in East US region. I created a Developer Bastion host in North Central US (it doesn't allow developer tier in the East US). How can I connect to my VM in East US through this Bastion host?

Hello Operations,

I wanted to follow up to see if you’ve had a chance to review the answer provided by TP.

Additionally, I would suggest considering the option to move your resources to a region that supports the Dev Bastion service in order to connect to the VM via Bastion.

Alternatively, you could use a Standard Bastion to connect or upgrade your existing Bastion SKU.

For your reference, I’ve included documentation on how to move resources across regions:

I hope this information helps to you and let me know if you have any further questions, we will be happy to help you.

Hi,

Unfortunately Azure Bastion Developer SKU doesn't support connecting from North Central US region to VM in East US. Virtual Network peering isn't supported by Developer SKU.

I've not seen any announcement regarding when Developer SKU will be available in more regions. Presumably when it becomes available in East US you could deploy it there so that you could connect to your VM.

Other potential options would be to connect via public IP restricted to only certain source IPs via NSG, or use higher SKU Bastion, connect via VPN Gateway, or connect via third-party SDWAN or similar.
