  • It sounds like people in your workspace haven’t discovered opening multiple windows side by side.

    I’ve found people in the windows world often make everything full screen all the time- such a waste. You have a 40” 6k display and you open a single giant word doc.

    You could have 3 or more documents open side by side- or a webpage for reference, a notepad, and your work or 1000 other combinations.

    I do development work so my workflow is extremely text heavy, but it’s rare that I don’t have 4+ windows open simultaneously per display. I also use an old dell monitor I had laying around rotated 90 degrees as others mentioned for log monitoring or chat threads.

    I think people just need to get more creative using their space- it’s not the monitor’s fault if you don’t fill it with stuff.





  • If they require you to use the bastion, then trying to avoid it is probably a bad idea.

    If the bastion is running an ssh server, you can jump through it with ssh pass through (using -J).

    SSM provides session manager which allows you to skip having a bastion altogether- it basically lets you start an “ssh” session to a private instance without opening ports or networking using aws creds. This requires that you have access permissions to do this and that ssm is enabled.

    But… if the reason you are using the bastion is so that they can inspect the traffic, then they’re not gonna let you bypass it via ssm because that also bypasses the managed networking.
