Securing VMs
Understand how we can secure VMs by following some security measures for them.
We’ve covered quite a lot about Windows VMs and Linux VMs and how to create them using Azure Portal and CLI commands. We’ve also explored how to establish connections using RDP, SSH, and Bastion by utilizing these protocols as secure means to connect and manage remote systems. The next step is to get more secure access to these VMs.
There are several services available for us to secure our VMs. One of them is Microsoft Entra ID through which we can manage access to VMs for different users or groups. When creating a VM, we can assign users to it, and while we’re assigning, we can also associate roles for them.
These roles define the level of access that the users will have on our VM. We can manage control using RBAC policies and appropriate access can be granted to users, groups, and applications at a certain scope. ...
