Network security
CoreAzure Private Link
Private endpoint access to supported services over private IP connectivity.
Key points
- Private Link maps a supported service or endpoint service to a private endpoint IP in a virtual network.
- Private DNS, routes, network security, endpoint approval, resource authorization, and public-access settings remain separate.
Best-known use cases
- Keep supported PaaS access on private address space from selected networks.
What candidates often confuse it with
- Private Link provides a private service path; peering or gateways connect networks and do not replace service authorization.
Key takeaway
Choose Private Link when a supported service must be reached privately without using its public endpoint path.
