Configure Azure Bastion: Azure Bastion is a service that allows you to securely connect to your Azure virtual machines over Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or Secure Shell (SSH) directly from the Azure portal, without the need to enable ports 3389 or 22 on the virtual machines. Azure Bastion uses Remote Desktop Services and Azure AD for authentication, providing a secure and convenient way to access the virtual machines.

Enable just-in-time (JIT) VM access: JIT VM access is a feature of Azure Security Center that allows you to control and monitor inbound traffic to your virtual machines. By enabling JIT VM access, you can grant administrators access to the virtual machines only when required, and automatically revoke the access when the session ends. This helps prevent unauthorized access to the virtual machines and ensures that access is granted only to authorized administrators.

Other actions, such as configuring Azure VPN Gateway, enabling Just Enough Administration (JEA), or enabling Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM) roles as virtual machine contributors, may not be directly related to providing secure remote access to the virtual machines....
