Azure Private Endpoints allow you to access Azure services (such as Azure Storage, Azure SQL Database, and Azure Cosmos DB) over a private endpoint in your virtual network. This means that the traffic between your virtual network and the Azure service travels over the Microsoft backbone network, instead of the public Internet. This provides increased security and reliability, as well as reduced latency.
For example, suppose you have an Azure Storage account and you want to access it from a virtual machine in your virtual network. By creating a Private Endpoint for the Azure Storage account, you can access the Storage account using a private IP address within your virtual network, rather than using a public IP address over the Internet. This ensures that your data stays within your network boundaries and is not exposed to the public Internet.
