Private Link

A Private Link in Azure is a network interface that connects you privately and securely to a service powered by Azure Private Link. Here are the key points about private endpoints:

  • Private Link/private endpoints offer an advantage over the service endpoint option. On-premises networks can access platform services privately over a ExpressRoute or VPN connection through the private endpoint. Service endpoints do not offer this capability.
  • If we have implemented a virtual WAN architecture, private endpoints can only be deployed on spoke virtual networks connected to the virtual hub. Implementing private endpoints directly on the virtual hub is not supported.
  • Supported Azure services can be accessed over private endpoints, but you need to register those private endpoint records in a corresponding private DNS zone.
