 Bastion Developer is a free, lightweight offering of the Azure Bastion service. This offering is ideal for Dev/Test users who want to securely connect to their VMs, but don't need additional Bastion features or host scaling. With Bastion Developer, you can connect to one Azure VM at a time directly through the virtual machine connect page.
 
-When you connect with Bastion Developer, the deployment requirements are different than when you deploy using other SKUs. Typically when you create a bastion host, a host is deployed to the AzureBastionSubnet in your virtual network. The Bastion host is dedicated for your use, whereas Bastion Developer is not. Because the Bastion Developer resource isn't dedicated, the features for the Developer SKU are limited. See the Bastion configuration settings [SKU](../articles/bastion/configuration-settings.md) section for features listed by SKU. You can always upgrade Bastion to a higher SKU if you need to support more features. See [Upgrade a SKU](../articles/bastion/upgrade-sku.md).
