When you use Azure Bastion, you must deploy a *bastion host* to a subnet that [meets Azure Bastion's requirements](/azure/bastion/configuration-settings#subnet).

A bastion host has a defined number of *instances*, which are also sometimes called *scale units*. Each instance represents a single dedicated VM that handles traffic. The platform automatically manages instance creation, health monitoring, and replacement of unhealthy instances, so you don't see or manage the VMs directly.

Basic SKU supports exactly two instances. Standard and Premium SKUs support *host scaling*, where you can configure the number of instances, with a minimum of two instances. When you add more instances, your bastion host can accommodate additional concurrent client connections.

> Pinning to a single availability zone is only recommended when [cross-zone latency](./availability-zones-overview.md#inter-zone-latency) is too high for your needs and after you verify that the latency doesn't meet your requirements. By itself, a zonal bastion host doesn't provide resiliency to an availability zone outage. To improve the resiliency of a zonal bastion host, you need to explicitly deploy separate bastion hosts into multiple availability zones and configure traffic routing and failover.
