Bastion and Auto Scaling
Introduction
myDRE provides to option to access VMs via Azure Bastion with around 30-50 users per Bastion VM.
If the number of users warrant it, Bastion can be rescaled manually.
Why does support need to manually scale?
The number of Azure Bastion units can be set via powershell, however:
"Any changes to the host scale units will disrupt active bastion connections." source Microsoft Docs.
