### What is the difference between a VNet Service Endpoint and a Private Endpoint?
29-
- VNet Service Endpoints extend your virtual network private address space and the identity of your VNet to the Azure services, over a direct connection. Service Endpoints allow you to secure your critical Azure service resources to only your virtual networks, while the traffic is route optimized and stays in the Microsoft backbone network it is sdestined to the Public IP address of the service.

- Private Endpoint is a networking resource that acts as an entry point in your virtual network and uses Private IP address to reach the services powered by Private Link. The traffic is route optimized and stays in the Microsoft backbone network.

### What is the difference between a Service Endpoints and a Private Endpoints?
26+
- When using Private Endpoints, network access is granted to specific resources behind a given service providing granular segmentation, also traffic can reach the service resource from on premises without using public endpoints.

### What is the relationship between Private Link service and Private Endpoint?
33-
It is a one-to-many relationship. One Private Link service can receive connections from multiple private endpoints. On the other hand, one private endpoint can only connect to one Private Link service.
