An Azure Private Endpoint is a network interface that connects you privately and securely to a service powered by Azure Private Link. The private endpoint uses a private IP address from your VNet, effectively bringing the service into your VNet. All traffic to the service can be routed through the private endpoint, so no gateways, NAT devices, ExpressRoute or VPN connections, or public IP addresses are needed. Traffic between your virtual network and the service traverses over the Microsoft backbone network, eliminating exposure from the public Internet. You can connect to an instance of an Azure resource, giving you the highest level of granularity in access control.

When you create a private endpoint, the connection must be approved. If the resource you are creating a private endpoint for is in your directory, you will be able to approve the connection request provided you have sufficient permissions. If you are connecting to an Azure resource in another directory, you must wait for the owner of that resource to approve your connection request.
