08/08/2021, 8:35 PMwow, I just discovered AWS bastion hosts today. 😮 no more manually setting up EC2 instances purely for tunneling to access private services. SO easy to set up via CDK, too
Copy code
const bastionHost = new ec2.BastionHostLinux(stack, 'BastionHost', {
instanceName: 'bastion-host',
instanceType: new ec2.InstanceType('t3.nano'),
vpc: ec2.Vpc.fromLookup(stack, 'DefaultVPC', { isDefault: true }),
});a
