Endpoints in Azure
- Certain services such as Azure SQL, Storage Accounts will not be part of our virtual networks, Ideally only way to access them is to use public ip.
- Azure has a concept of private endpoint, where a private connectivity between some subnet in your vnet to the Azure service is created.
- Refer Here for different services in Azure
- A Network interface with valid ip with in your subnets cidr range will be allocated and then we can connect to the azure service privately using the private ip/dns name
