Microsoft Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 Practice Question

An Azure private endpoint assigns a private IP address from your virtual network to an Azure service, enabling secure connectivity over a private link. This ensures that your network traffic remains on the Azure backbone network without traversing the public internet. Unlike public endpoints that expose services via a public IP address, private endpoints provide access via a private IP, enhancing security.

VPN gateways and SSL encryption over the internet are different methods for connecting to Azure services but do not provide the same seamless private connectivity that private endpoints offer.
