 Using keyboard shortcut keys while you're connected to a VM might not result in the same behavior as shortcut keys on a local computer. For example, when you're connected to a Windows VM from a Windows client, Ctrl+Alt+End is the keyboard shortcut for Ctrl+Alt+Delete on a local computer. To do this from a Mac while you're connected to a Windows VM, the keyboard shortcut is Fn+Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.

 # Session monitoring and management for Azure Bastion
 
-Once the Bastion service is provisioned and deployed in your virtual network, you can use it to seamlessly connect to any VM in this virtual network. As users connect to workloads, Azure Bastion can be used to monitor the remote sessions and take quick management actions. Azure Bastion session monitoring lets you view which users are connected to which VMs. It shows the IP that the user connected from, how long they have been connected, and when they connected. The session management experience lets you select an ongoing session and force-disconnect or delete a session in order to disconnect the user from the ongoing session.
