Title: Understanding Azure Private Endpoints – Best Practices & Real‑World Use CasesAbstract:
Azure Private Endpoints and Private Link are foundational to securing cloud resources by enabling private, internal access to Azure services—bypassing the public internet entirely. In this session, Dave will:
1. Break down the fundamentals: Understand the differences between Private Endpoint, Private Link Service, Service Endpoints, and VNet integration—and when to use each.
2. Walk through practical implementation: Get a step-by-step guide to deploying Private Endpoints, configuring DNS with Private DNS Zones, and managing NSGs and routing implications.
3. Explore advanced use cases: Dive into securing access to Azure SQL, Storage Accounts, Key Vault, and the use of Managed Private Endpoints in services like Synapse and Data Factory.
4. Identify common pitfalls and performance considerations: Learn how to avoid misconfigurations that impact reliability, security, or manageability.
5. Close with real-world architectures: See production-proven deployment patterns that integrate Private Endpoints into scalable, secure environments—including multi-region strategies and observability tooling.
Whether you're deploying your first Private Endpoint or standardizing secure service access across a large environment, this session will provide practical guidance, critical insights, and lessons from the field.
