 # Private Link for Azure Database for MariaDB
 
-Private Link allows you to connect to various PaaS services in Azure via a private endpoint. Azure Private Link essentially brings Azure services inside your private Virtual Network (VNet). The PaaS resources can be accessed using the private IP address just like any other resource in the VNet.
+Private Link allows you to create private endpoints for Azure Database for MariaDB and so brings Azure services inside your private Virtual Network (VNet). The private endpoint exposes a private IP you can use to connect to your Azure Database for MariaDB database server just like any other resource in the VNet.
 
 For a list to PaaS services that support Private Link functionality, review the Private Link [documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/private-link/index). A private endpoint is a private IP address within a specific [VNet](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-network/virtual-networks-overview) and Subnet.

-Clients can connect to the Private endpoint from the same VNet, peered VNet in same region, or via VNet-to-VNet connection across regions. Additionally, clients can connect from on-premises using ExpressRoute, private peering, or VPN tunneling. Below is a simplified diagram showing the common use cases.
