One of the major challenges in adopting a PAAS is that a misconfiguration could leave that resource accessible over the internet. Unfortunately, since the default setting on the majority of the Azure PAAS resources is set to allow public access, leveraging Private Endpoints helped us greatly in mitigating this risk while leveraging the advantages of Azure PAAS.

By definition, private endpoints are network interfaces that connect you privately and securely to private link services or Azure PAAS resources such as Azure SQL, Storage accounts, Data factory, etc. This network interface resides within your Virtual network hence giving you the capability to manage and monitor the traffic to the resource. In this article, I want to talk about design considering while implementing private endpoints within your azure environment.
