Azure bastion

Hi SunderSwaminathanYadav-1041

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

Kindly check if associated resources such as public ip, virtual network, or diagnostic settings is still active. You need to delete all these associated resources otherwise you will be charged

Run below command to check list of all azure bastion host machines in a RG and verify nothing exists

az network bastion list -g MyResourceGroup

Hello SunderSwaminathanYadav-1041

Adding further info to the answer provided by Shikha Ghildiyal.

It sounds frustrating to be charged for Azure Bastion even after deleting it! The issue might be that Azure Bastion continues to reserve resources like computing power and a public IP address, even after the virtual machine is removed. To completely stop charges, you need to delete the Bastion resource itself, not just the VM.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Check if Bastion is still active in your Azure portal.
2. Delete the Bastion resource manually.
3. Remove any associated public IP addresses to prevent further charges.
4. If you’re still being charged, review your cost analysis in Azure to see if any lingering resources are causing the issue. Bastion starts charging when the resource gets created. To stop the charge, you will need to delete the resource. Besides the normal hourly pricing based on SKU and instances (scale units), data transfer rates are also charged. You can use Azure Portal/PowerShell/CLI to delete the Bastion resource.

Troubleshooting steps:
Please use the below command to check all the azure bastion hosts.

az network bastion list

If any bastion hosts are present, you can delete them using below command:

az network bastion delete --name MyBastionHost --resource-group MyResourceGroup

After deleting your bastion host, make sure to delete your public IP created for bastion host.

Please use the below command to delete public IP:

az network public-ip delete -g MyResourceGroup -n MyIp
