## Overview{% #overview %}

You can use the Bastion component to represent and visualize bastion servers from your Azure environment.

## Toolbar{% #toolbar %}

Use the toolbar to configure and customize the component. The following options are available:

- **Color**: Select accent and fill colors for the body of the component in 3D view.
- **Tier**: Select the service level tier for your bastion server.
- **Scale units**: Enter the number of scale units for your bastion server. This option is only available for the Standard tier.
- **Outbound data transfer (GB)**: Enter the total volume of outbound data transferred by your bastion server in gigabytes.

## API{% #api %}

Use [the Cloudcraft API](https://developers.cloudcraft.co/) to programmatically access and render your architecture diagrams as JSON objects. The following is an example JSON object of a Bastian component:

### Schema{% #schema %}

```json
{
	"type": "azurebastion",
	"id": "efe6a642-dc6d-4ea3-ab3c-465358f10e15",

	"region": "eastus",
	"mapPos": [2,10],
	"tier": "Basic",
	"scaleUnits": 1,
	"outboundDataTransfer": 0,
	"color": {
		"isometric": "#CEE0F5",
		"2d": "null"
	},
	"accentColor": {
		"isometric": "#0078D4",

```

- **type: string**: The type of component. Must be a string of value `azurebastion` for this component.
- **id: string, uuid**: The unique identifier for the component. The API uses a UUID v4 internally but accepts any unique string.
- **resourceId: string**: The globally unique identifier for the component within Azure.
- **region: string**: The Azure region for the component. The API supports all global regions, except China.
- **mapPos: array**: The position of the component in the blueprint. The API uses a unique X and Y coordinate pair to express positioning.
- **tier: string**: The service level tier for the bastion server. Accepts one of two values, `Basic` or `Standard`. Defaults to `Standard`.
- **scaleUnits: number**: The number of scale units for the bastion server.
- **outboundDataTransfer: number**: The total volume of outbound data transferred by the bastion server in gigabytes. Defaults to `0`.
- **color: object**: The fill color for the component body.
  - **isometric: string**: A hexadecimal color for the component body in 3D view. Defaults to `#ececed`.
  - **2d: string**: A hexadecimal color for the component body in 2D view. Defaults to `null`.
- **accentColor: object**: The accent color for the component logo.
  - **isometric: string**: A hexadecimal color for the component logo in 3D view. Defaults to `#0078d4`.
  - **2d: string**: A hexadecimal color for the component logo in 2D view. Defaults to `null`.
- **link: string, uri**: A URI that links the component to another diagram or an external website. Accepts one of two formats, `blueprint://` or `https://`.
- **locked: boolean**:. Whether to allow changes to the position of the component through the web interface. Defaults to `false`.
