A systems administrator successfully configures VPN access to a cloud environment. Which of the following capabilities should the administrator use to best facilitate remote administration?

A jump host (or jump server) in a shared services security zone provides a secure, hardened intermediary server for accessing other systems within the cloud environment. This best facilitates remote administration by creating a controlled access point, logging all connections, and minimizing direct exposure of internal cloud resources to the internet. An SSH server within the corporate LAN is not ideal because it would require direct exposure of the internal network to the internet or complex routing through the VPN, which is less secure for cloud administration. A reverse proxy on the firewall is primarily used for external users accessing internal web services, not for secure administrative access to cloud infrastructure. An MDM solution with conditional access is for managing mobile devices and their access to corporate resources, not for server-to-server or administrator-to-server access within a cloud environment.
