Summary
In this module, you learned about service endpoints, private endpoints, private links, private link services, and DNS integration.
The main takeaways from this module are:
- Service Endpoints limit the Azure service's access to the allowed virtual network and subnet. Service endpoints provide network-level security and isolation of the Azure service traffic.
- Service Endpoint policies allow you to filter egress virtual network trafficto the Service Endpoint. Policies
- Azure Private Link enables you to access Azure PaaS Services and Azure hosted customer-owned/partner services over a Private Endpoint in your virtual network. Private Link is designed to eliminate security risks by removing the public part of the connection.
- Azure private endpoint is the key technology behind private link. Private endpoint is a network interface that enables a private and secure connection between your virtual network and an Azure service.
- Azure Private Link service lets you offer Private Link connections to your custom Azure services. Consumers of your custom services can then access those services privately—that is, without using the internet—from their own Azure virtual networks.
- Azure DNS Private Resolver lets you query Azure DNS private zones from an on-premises environment and vice versa without deploying VM based DNS servers. When you use DNS Private Resolver, you don't need a DNS forwarder, and Azure DNS is able to resolve on-premises domain names.
