Public Preview: Entra ID support for SSH connections in portal

We are announcing that Azure Bastion now supports Microsoft Entra ID authentication for SSH connections in the portal. With Microsoft Entra ID authentication, there are two main benefits to users connecting to their virtual machines. First, it eliminates the need for local authentication mechanisms, reducing a point of attack for malicious actors.  Second, with Microsoft Entra ID authentication set as the authentication mechanism, instead of providing additional authentication to connect, users can experience a one-click sign-on into their virtual machines.
