A bastion host can stably run only if the number of concurrent sessions stays below the upper limit. If the number exceeds the upper limit, the bastion host may encounter service interruptions.
If a session contains multiple TCP connections, each TCP connection consumes a concurrent session quota.
If you initiate multiple sessions to simultaneously upload or download large files or you initiate multiple sessions to perform complex graphics operations by using a remote desktop, bandwidth usage may spike, and remote sessions may freeze. We recommend that you perform the preceding operations during off-peak hours or purchase extra bandwidth for the bastion host.
If you initiate multiple sessions to perform complex graphics operations or open browsers to watch videos by using a remote desktop, overload protection may be triggered due to heavy workloads. After overload protection is triggered, Bastionhost denies new session requests or interrupts existing sessions based on the real-time workloads. We recommend that you perform the preceding operations during off-peak hours or upgrade the specifications of the bastion host.
Expiration
If you do not renew your bastion host within seven days after the bastion host expires, the bastion host no longer provides services, and you cannot log on to the console of the bastion host.
If you do not renew your bastion host within the grace period of seven days, the bastion host is released. In this case, the configuration and audit data of the bastion host are deleted.
Refunds
Bastionhost does not provide a money-back guarantee.
