Microsoft Azure Private Link
Microsoft Azure Private Link gives a virtual network a private IP address onto an Azure PaaS service, a partner service, or a service the customer publishes themselves, so traffic reaches it across the Microsoft backbone and never traverses the public internet. It has two sides. A consumer creates a private endpoint pointing at a target resource id and attaches a private DNS zone group so the service's own hostname resolves to that private address. A producer publishes a private link service in front of a Standard Load Balancer, hands out an opaque alias, and approves or rejects the connections that arrive — including connections from other tenants. Both sides are managed through the Azure Resource Manager REST API at management.azure.com, which Microsoft publishes as Swagger 2.0 in its azure-rest-api-specs repository: 24 operations at api-version 2025-03-01, OAuth2 bearer only, with no API key and no anonymous surface.
Microsoft Azure Private Link publishes 6 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including microsoft-azure-private-link Operations API, microsoft-azure-private-link Private Endpoints API, Private Dns Zone Groups API, and 3 more.
