Private Link / Private Endpoint

Private access to Azure data services

Overview

We place Private Endpoints on the data services that must not be reached from the public internet: storage, SQL, Key Vault, and the analytics workspaces in scope. DNS zones are linked to the VNets that need them, and we test resolution from a VM or a pipeline runtime inside that network.

Public network access is disabled only after private access works, including for Microsoft-hosted integration runtimes that need a different pattern. Exceptions stay on a list with an owner and a review date.

What we deliver

  • Private endpoints for the storage, data, and key services in scope
  • Private DNS zones linked to the VNets that consume them
  • A resolution test from the network where pipelines and users sit
  • Public access disabled, with any exception listed and owned

Business benefits

  • Data services are reached over your network, not over a public endpoint
  • DNS is part of the design, so names resolve for the people who must connect
  • Remaining public endpoints are explicit exceptions, not oversights
