Azure Private Endpoint

An Azure Private Endpoint is a network interface that connects you privately and securely to a service powered by Azure Private Link. The private endpoint uses an IP address from your Azure Virtual Network (VNet), allowing you to access the service using your VNet IP address range and eliminating the need for a public IP address. This means that your traffic to the service stays within the Azure backbone network, providing enhanced security and improved performance. Private endpoints are available for several Azure services, including Azure Storage, Azure SQL Database, and Azure Cosmos DB.
