Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
Your company hosts an Azure SQL Managed Instance in a dedicated subnet of VNet-Prod. Several partner teams have workloads running in separate VNets and subscriptions. All teams must be able to connect to the managed instance by using private IP addresses that stay on the Microsoft backbone. Security policies forbid VNet peering, VPN gateways, and ExpressRoute. Which solution should you implement?
Enable virtual network service endpoints for Microsoft.Sql on every partner VNet.
Expose the managed instance's public endpoint and restrict it with a firewall rule.
Create an Azure Private Endpoint for the managed instance in each partner VNet.
Deploy Azure Bastion in VNet-Prod and share it with the partner VNets.
Azure Private Endpoint lets you expose Azure SQL Managed Instance as a Private Link resource. Each partner VNet can create its own private endpoint, giving the managed instance a unique private IP address inside that VNet. Traffic therefore stays on the Microsoft backbone and no VNet peering, VPN, or ExpressRoute is required. Virtual network service endpoints cannot be used with SQL Managed Instance, and they do not eliminate a public endpoint. Azure Bastion is for RDP/SSH, not database connectivity. Allowing a public endpoint violates the requirement to keep traffic private.
