difference between service endpoint and private endpoint

Question

what is the difference in working of endpoints in azure

Amit Mohanty · Answer

Service endpoints are primarily used for controlling outbound traffic to Azure services, whereas private endpoints are used for both inbound and outbound traffic. Service endpoints don't assign private IP addresses to your resources, while private endpoints do. Private endpoints are more granular and specific to certain Azure services, whereas service endpoints are available for a broader range of Azure services. Private endpoints are ideal for scenarios where you need a higher level of isolation and control over the network traffic to Azure PaaS services.

Hi, Traffic can reach the service resource from on premises without using public endpoints. A Service Endpoint remains a publicly routable IP address. A Private Endpoint is a private IP in the address space of the virtual network where the private endpoint is configured Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/private-link/private-link-faq

Service Endpoint :A service endpoint is a specific URL or address that represents an external service or resource accessible over a network. It provides a means to interact with an external service, API, or resource hosted either within the same network or externally. Private Endpoint: A private endpoint is a network interface that connects resources within a virtual network (VNet) to specific Azure services or other resources without needing to expose them to the public internet. It allows secure and direct access to specific Azure PaaS services or Azure Virtual Machine resources from within the same virtual network or through a VPN/ExpressRoute connection.
