Also worth mentioning you can also tunnel with SSM, so it's possible to use plain SSH or do anything that you usually used to accomplish with bastion.

While it's possible to do port forwarding with SSM [0] I would encourage people to test it well.

I've tried using it for development, and it was a terrible experience. The connections would hang all the time for no reason. I ended up starting an SSH session (via SSM) and done the port forwarding via that...
