# Zero Trust Azure Cloud Access

You can use a Virtual Machine as a Jump server to other services running in the same VPC, such as a database or Kubernetes cluster. You can also add Remote.It access to any services which are running on an existing Virtual Machine instance. Setup only takes a couple of minutes. You can do all of this without any inbound rules in the security groups, thereby blocking all ingress traffic and eliminating open ports to the internet.

With the target services setup such as databases, storage and web applications, you can simply add authorized users via email address in the Remote.It application. This works well with your remote workers and contractors by eliminating the need to maintain IP allow lists. It also works on CGNAT connections where your team may be connected via a cellular or satellite carrier where IP addresses are not known or are transient.

This allows the developers to work with the database with their tools and in their local development environments as if the database were running locally even when the database has multiple availability zones.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.remote.it/developer-tools/zero-trust-azure-cloud-access.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
