Wait, isn't it also a bit like a firewall?

I’m a bit confused about the firewall option. I thought bastion hosts were more about access rather than just blocking traffic.

This question feels familiar; I practiced one about bastion hosts being used for secure access. I think it's definitely not for load balancing.

I think the bastion host is meant to provide a secure point for managing the clusters, like a gateway, right?

I remember studying bastion hosts, but I'm not entirely sure if they're mainly for security or something else.
