Purchase a bastion host before using Bastionhost to manage and audit access to your server assets. Choose a region, edition, and plan that match your infrastructure scale and O&M requirements.
Enable Auto-renewal during purchase to avoid service interruption when the instance expires. For pricing details, see Billing.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
(Recommended) Identified the region where your Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances are deployed — place your bastion host in the same region to enable internal network access
Choose an edition
| If you need... | Choose |
|---|---|
| O&M on 1,000+ assets, database O&M, automatic password rotation for Linux servers, webpage-based O&M, or hybrid cloud O&M via the network domain feature | Enterprise Edition |
| Basic O&M and audit capabilities on a smaller asset count | Basic Edition |
For a full feature comparison, see Functions and features.
Enterprise Edition runs in dual-engine mode: both engines operate simultaneously to improve O&M efficiency, and the bastion host automatically switches between engines if a single point of failure (SPOF) occurs.
Basic Edition runs in single-engine mode and supports O&M and audit operations.
