This document describes how to set up a bastion server or "moat" to provide a secure single point of entry to application servers. It involves installing necessary packages on the bastion server like SSH, updating packages, changing the SSH port, disabling password logins, setting up firewall rules to only allow SSH from the bastion server, creating a special user group and keymaster user for access, and configuring SSH proxying through the bastion to access other servers securely.
