Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Bastion provides restricted and time-limited access to target resources that don’t have public endpoints. Bastions allows authorized users connect from specific IP addresses to target resources using Secure Shell (SSH) sessions. When connected, users can interact with the target resource by using any software or protocol supported by SSH.

Advantage of having Bastion Service instead of Bastion Host

  • Cost Saving (no cost for Bastion Service)
