 # Tutorial: Deploy Bastion using manual settings: Azure portal
 
-This tutorial shows you how to connect to a virtual machine through your browser using Azure Bastion and the Azure portal. In this tutorial, using the Azure portal, you deploy Bastion to your virtual network. Once the service is provisioned, the RDP/SSH experience is available to all of the virtual machines in the same virtual network. When you use Bastion to connect, the VM does not need a public IP address or special software. After deploying Bastion, you can remove the public IP address from your VM if it is not needed for anything else. Next, you connect to a VM via its private IP address using the Azure portal. For more information about Azure Bastion, see [What is Azure Bastion?](bastion-overview.md).
+This tutorial shows you how to deploy Azure Bastion to your virtual network from the Azure portal using manual settings that you specify.

+In this tutorial, you deploy Bastion using the Standard SKU tier and adjust host scaling (instance count). After the deployment is complete, you connect to your VM via private IP address using the Azure portal. When you connect to the VM, it doesn't need a public IP address, client software, agent, or a special configuration. If your VM has a public IP address that you don't need for anything else, you can remove it.

If you are using an existing virtual network, make sure the existing virtual network has enough free address space to accommodate the Bastion subnet requirements. If you don't see your virtual network from the dropdown, make sure you have selected the correct Resource Group.
