Private connectivity has become a central element of secure cloud architectures. As organizations increasingly adopt platform services in Azure, controlling how those services are accessed from internal workloads becomes an important architectural concern.

Azure Private Endpoints provide a mechanism to expose platform services through private IP addresses within a virtual network. Instead of accessing services through public endpoints, workloads communicate with them privately through the Azure backbone network.

While this capability is straightforward for small environments, designing architectures that support large-scale Private Endpoint deployments introduces additional considerations.

Hello everyone,

Azure Firewall is widely used as a central security control in many enterprise network architectures. As environments grow and traffic patterns become more dynamic, maintaining predictable performance for inspection and filtering becomes increasingly important.

A recently introduced capability known as Azure Firewall prescaling helps address this challenge by allowing organizations to prepare firewall capacity ahead of expected traffic increases.
