009 - Thinking about remote access options for VMs

In this episode we have our very first guest, Tiago Costa – an Azure MVP and MCT from Portugal. We think about remote access options for virtual machines in Azure. There are many options, and we chat through the newest ones such as Bastion Host and JIT VM which is part of Azure Security Center. We also reminisce a bit on the good old days, when you had to build jump servers/jump boxes from physical servers.
