Description

It would be great if windows terminal supported connecting via SSH over Azure bastion to some endpoint behind it.
So that I can work directly in windows terminal with full terminal comfort without the need to open the web based terminal emulation in azure portal.

Something similar to how the cloud shell works but with the tunneling to the final ssh endpoint in the private network.

Research direction

Start with the issue description and the Windows Terminal repository entry points for SSH or remote connection support, then investigate how Azure Bastion tunneling could fit the requested workflow. Done would require an agreed design and a supported way to connect from Windows Terminal to an SSH endpoint behind Azure Bastion without using the Azure portal terminal.
