Azure Private Endpoint allows secure and private connection to Azure services by assigning a network interface. This enables the traffic to flow locally on the Azure backbone within a VNet by associating a private IP for PaaS services. The service offers a complete lockdown of public traffic to the Azure services. The traffic redirection and security are facilitated by Azure Private DNS that enables the private IP to resolve to resources within the subscription.

In this lab, you will work with Azure Private Link, configure a secure endpoint for Azure Storage Account File Share and make firewall updates to the Storage Account network.
