Public Preview : Azure Bastion integration with AKS

Azure Bastion integration for AKS is now available in public preview. This integration enables continuous secure access to private AKS clusters and also applies to AKS public clusters with API server authorized IP ranges. This integration introduces a seamless way for customers to tunnel into their AKS clusters using Azure Bastion, eliminating the need for complex networking setups like VPNs or jump boxes.  

With this integration, users can now connect to their clusters and easily use native Kubernetes tooling (e.g., kubectl) from their local machines—simplifying access, reducing setup time, and enhancing security by eliminating the need to expose public endpoints.
