How to disable the Azure Bastion for Virtual Machine in Azure cloud

Question

In the Azure portal, I'm utilising a Virtual Machine. I connected the VM using RDP over there. Now, when I look at my credits, I see that $19 has been spent and that Azure Bastion is being used.

Following that, I performed some research and discovered how to remove all Azure Bastion resources using Azure PowerShell. I removed all Azure Bastion instances and verified the list using the command az network bastion network, and it was empty.

After a day, I connected to the VM again through RDP, and when I checked the utilised information today, it had climbed by $4.

My issue is, why is this occurring after I destroyed all bastion resources in Azure Portal, and how can I entirely stop it since I don't want to be paid again?

Answer 1

Please use the below command to check all the azure bastion hosts.

az network bastion list

If any bastion hosts are present, you can delete them using below command :

az network bastion delete --name MyBastionHost --resource-group MyResourceGroup

After deleting your bastion host, make sure to delete your public IP created for bastion host.

Please use the below command to delete public IP :

az network public-ip delete -g MyResourceGroup -n MyIp

For more details please refer to the below document for the pricing of Bastion :
