Understanding Private Endpoints in Azure | VM, VNet, Service Endpoint, and Storage Account Demo

In this video, we dive deep into the concept of private endpoints and their importance in securing your Azure resources. We provide a step-by-step demonstration, showcasing a Virtual Machine (VM) connected to a Virtual Network (VNet), and how to set up both a service endpoint on the VNet and a private endpoint on an Azure Storage Account.

📚 What You Will Learn:
Introduction to Private Endpoints:

Understanding what private endpoints are and their role in enhancing security and privacy in Azure.
Differences between service endpoints and private endpoints.
Setting Up the Environment:

Creating and configuring a Virtual Machine (VM) connected to a Virtual Network (VNet).
Establishing a service endpoint on the VNet.
Configuring a Private Endpoint:

Step-by-step guide to setting up a private endpoint on an Azure Storage Account.
Demonstrating how the private endpoint integrates with the VNet to provide secure access to the storage account.
Testing and Verification:

Superb clear explanation. Love Mike's work. So well done.

Hi Mike, this is excellent video explaining Service Endpoint and Private Endpoint. Could you explain when to use the VNET Injection (delegation) versus these 2 options?

[srinivas]

nice explanation please add realtime flow too

[MichaelNielo]

Thank you. Very good explained. Is this the same setup as MS SQL Server, if I may ask?

[somjadek]

🎉🎉🎉 nice 👍👍👍 explained, what's pen you used to drawings?

Imagine you had multiple subnets, could you install the storage account's private endpoint in another subnet, e.g. `subnet-01` whereas the service endpoint is installed in `default` subnet?

Hi Mike, why created service endpoint? We can achieve through azure end point
