+Remote access to machines and firewalls is essential for performing administrative tasks such as incident management, troubleshooting and sometimes for development. Standard SSH access is often insufficient for these purposes. In many cases, direct serial console access is required to fully manage the system. metal-stack follows a security-first approach by not offering direct SSH access to machines. This practice reduces the attack surface and prevents unauthorized access that could lead to system damage.
