Application networking

Core

App Service networking

Inbound access, private endpoints, and outbound VNet integration.

Key points

  • Private endpoints provide private inbound connectivity to an app.
  • VNet integration provides outbound app connectivity into a VNet.
  • Access restrictions and public network posture govern allowed inbound paths.

Best-known use cases

  • Let an app call a private database.
  • Expose an app privately through a VNet address.

What candidates often confuse it with

  • Private endpoint vs VNet integration: inbound private client path vs outbound app path.
  • Access restriction vs NSG: app-level inbound rule vs subnet or NIC traffic filter.

Key takeaway

Select App Service networking by traffic direction and configure DNS, subnet, routes, and target firewalls as part of the path.

Exam fidelity: Microsoft does not publish a fixed live question count or guarantee a question-type mix for AZ-104. This lane counts multiple-choice and multiple-response items as exam-style practice. Ordering, matching, and case-study items are supplemental site exercises and do not count toward exam-style accuracy. Practice percentages do not reproduce Microsoft's scaled scoring, and difficulty labels describe this site's Intermediate-level scenario complexity rather than a Microsoft-published question rating.
