SSH port forwarding explained in a clean and visual way. How to use local and remote port forwarding. What sshd settings may need to be adjusted. How to memorize the right flags.
SSH is yet another example of an ancient technology that is still in wide use today. It may very well be that learning a couple of SSH tricks is more profitable in the long run than mastering a dozen Cloud Native tools destined to become deprecated next quarter.

- Access internal VPC endpoints through a public-facing EC2 instance.
- Open a port from the localhost of a development VM in the host's browser.
- Expose any local server from a home/private network to the outside world.
