Introduction Link para o cabeçalho

Azure Private Endpoint is a feature that allows you to access your Azure services privately from your virtual network (VNet). It provides secure and private connectivity to Azure services over a private endpoint in your VNet, removing the need for a public IP address or internet connectivity.

Why do you need Azure Private Endpoint? Link para o cabeçalho

As a user, you might need Azure Private Endpoint for various reasons. For example, you might have sensitive data that you don’t want to expose to the internet or don’t want to use public IP addresses. Azure Private Endpoint provides a secure way to connect to your Azure services from your virtual network, eliminating the need for public IP addresses or internet connectivity.

What does it solve? Link para o cabeçalho

Azure Private Endpoint helps to solve the problem of exposing your services to the public internet, reducing your attack surface and improving your security posture. It enables you to create private connections to Azure services over a private IP address, removing the need for a public IP address or internet connectivity.

Best Practices Link para o cabeçalho

Here are some best practices to keep in mind when working with Azure Private Endpoint:

Use it with Virtual Network Service Endpoints: Virtual Network Service Endpoints provide secure and private connectivity between your virtual network and your Azure service, improving security and network performance. Ensure that your Azure services are in the same region as your virtual network: This helps to reduce latency and improve performance. Use Network Security Groups (NSGs) to restrict access to your private endpoints: NSGs provide a way to control network traffic by filtering it based on source and destination IP addresses, ports, and protocols. Monitor your private endpoints using Azure Monitor: Azure Monitor provides a way to monitor your private endpoints and receive alerts when they’re down or not functioning as expected.
