Remoting evolving - SSH
summary
Claim: PowerShell remoting is moving from WinRM to SSH. Demo shows installing OpenSSH (inbox on modern Windows), editing sshd_config to add subsystem PowerShell, restarting sshd, opening a firewall rule and using Enter-PSSession -HostName to get an interactive session. Azure Arc integration called SSH Arc (shark) uses azcm agent and enter-azvm/azsshvm to reach Arc‑enabled servers without public IPs, and RDP tunnels over SSH work. SSH keys and AAD auth are supported, live keygen hiccup noted, SSH history shows only about 5–10 CVEs, and the setup is shown working on supported Windows back to 2012.
