In any case, I thought it was a worthy mention since it's free and pretty full-featured: I'd like to add another solution I found though it might be a little more bloated than putty and the above solutions. looks like a bug.Īll in all, that's my assessment for the already posted solutions. A minus for PTM, it gave me a UI programming error when trying to call the taskbar when the settings page was in the background. The nice thing about this is that if you left-click on the icon it shows you your opened sessions. but maybe you want this as a solution for end-users, so with PTM you only create your tunnel (no terminal window opens). I like Putty Tray better because I like having access to a terminal window/session when I load a tunnel (makes me feel more powerful by having access to Putty's configuration as oppose to the limited settings offered in PTM). I've used Tunnelier, but it doesn't seem to be what you're looking for since I couldn't find an easy way of creating taskbar items(sessions). Putty tray will allow you to start it only. Only PTM will allow you to stop and start a tunnel session from the taskbar. The two get their sessions from Putty, though you can move/copy the sessions to PTM as oppose to putty tray which uses putty all the way. The next thing is to modify our local ssh config file which is typically located in ~/.ssh/config (Linux and MacOS) or C:\Users\username\.For what you're looking for, I believe you'll be happy with either the 'Putty-tunnel-manager' ( 'PTM'?) project or 'Putty Tray' solutions. The benefit of using Session Manager is that the bastion host will now reside in a private subnet and its security groups won’t allow any inbound traffic. Creating the SSH tunnelĮven though we said that Session Manager eliminates the need for maintaining bastion hosts, in order to access resources in our private subnet, we still need to create an EC2 instance that will serve as a bastion host. Numerous tutorials popped out, but none of them thoroughly explained the complete process of creating the ssh tunnel. So naturally, the first thing we searched on google was ‘AWS Session Manager tunneling’. How we did this in the past is by creating a ssh tunnel via our public bastion host and accessing the private MySQL RDS instances. We still need a way to access our RDS instances residing in a private subnet. However, we won’t go into the details of setting up Session Manager for your EC2 instances since the official documentation is detailed enough and you can also check it out here.įurthermore, the Session Manager capability seems to be an improvement to our cloud security, but now we are facing a new challenge. AWS Session Manager provides us with secure instance management without the need to open inbound ports or maintain bastion hosts. Session Manager is a capability of AWS Systems Manager which allows us to manage the EC2 instances through an interactive one-click-browser-based shell or through the AWS CLI. Even though we make sure to harden the bastion host so it won’t represent a security issue, the issue with this approach is that the bastion host resides in a public subnet and ingress rules do allow connections from the outside world. This resulted in creating an extensive list of requirements that should be implemented for all existing and future projects.Īs of right now, almost all of the projects make use of an EC2 instance which acts as a bastion host (jump box) and provides us a way of accessing resources in our private subnets. For the past several months, the DevOps team in our organization has worked on finding ways to increase the security of our AWS cloud infrastructure projects.
