Prevent security issues on Azure VMs

[raspstephan]

I enabled Just in Time (JIT) access for our VMs to prevent the Azure security warnings. @annavaughan @HirtM Here is what you need to do to be able to log in.

In the Azure portal go to the security center.

Then go to the Azure defender on the left and click the Just-in-time VM access button below.

Click on the VM you want to you and click request access.

Here toggle the on button. My IP is fine. 3 hours is the maximum.

Then click request access. This takes a minute or so but then you should be able to log in like usual. Unfortunately, I guess you will have to do this every three hours again but let's hope this solves the problem.

Also, I guess we should shut down the VMs when we are not using them. So just make sure to save intermediate files, etc before shutting down.

Another related issue I am noticing is that my .ssh/id_rsa files keep disappearing after while, which is annoying because I need to set up a new Github access every time. Do any of you have the same issue?

I think I've always entered my password, so no.

JIT seems to have fixed that, so will close.
