Jump server - what is it?


Jump server: 

A jump server (a.k.a jump host/ jump box) is 
a system on a network used to access and manage devices in a separate security zone.

--
A jump server is a hardened and monitored device 

  that spans two dissimilar security zones 

  and provides a controlled means of access between them.

--

DevOps teams use it as a way to establish a clear funnel through which traffic passed to their infrastructure
