Bastillion is an easy way to connect to VMs from the web browser and it works seamlessly for EC2 instances as well from the web portal directly. Since openssh is auto configured with ports opened by default when EC2 instance configure with Bastillion, its easy to start a VM and connect directly to it in secure way. Docs are great for setting up 2 factor auth and running locally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes time sometimes to load up and connect to EC2 instance and rather direct SSH from console is faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
