Capacity of Azure Bastion: How Many Users Can It Support?

Question

Hello @everyone !

What is the capacity of Azure Bastion in terms of the number of users supported by the service? I couldn't find information on how to view the supported user count for the service.

Hi,

The maximum number of concurrent sessions varies depending on what each user is doing and the number of Bastion instances. For example, for "medium" workload each instance can support 20 concurrent RDP and 40 concurrent SSH sessions. For Azure Bastion Basic SKU, you are limited to 2 instances, whereas with Standard SKU you can have up to 50 instances.

If each user is performing tasks that involve lots of data transfer then less sessions per Bastion instance will be supported.
