What type of traffic must be permitted for graphical connections to Windows bastion hosts?

The correct answer is: RDP

Graphical connections to Windows bastion hosts, which are typically used for secure access to cloud resources and systems, require the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). RDP is specifically designed to facilitate remote graphical user interface (GUI) connections over a network. By allowing RDP traffic, users can connect to a Windows machine and utilize its desktop environment as if they were sitting in front of it. Other protocols mentioned in the choices have different purposes. SSH (Secure Shell) is primarily used for secure command-line interface access, which does not provide a graphical environment. DNS (Domain Name System) is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses and does not directly relate to establishing remote desktop connections. IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is concerned with monitoring network traffic for malicious activity rather than specifically enabling graphical connections. Therefore, permitting RDP traffic is essential for enabling these graphical connections to Windows bastion hosts effectively.
