An instance is an optimized Azure VM that is created when you configure Azure Bastion. When you configure Azure Bastion using the Basic SKU, 2 instances are created. If you use the Standard SKU, you can specify the number of instances between 2-50.
| Workload Type* | Session Limit per Instance** |
|---|---|
| Light | 25 |
| Medium | 20 |
| Heavy | 2 |
*These workload types are defined here: Remote Desktop workloads
**These limits are based on RDP performance tests for Azure Bastion. The numbers may vary due to other on-going RDP sessions or other on-going SSH sessions.
