I guess I'm missing something, but I just don't get Service Endpoints.
Let's say I have Azure SQL, and I want to secure it as much as possible. Now, I can use the Firewall IP rules to protect from unauthorized access from the public web.
This, if I get it right, has nothing do to with Service Endpoint.
So I can set an endpoint to connect, say, a VM in my subscription to the Azure SQL. But what's the difference if I do or don't have a service endpoint? From what I gathered, the service endpoint makes my resources access the SQL via Azure backbone instead of via the public IP. So that means that service endpoints has nothing to do with outside access, which is still protected using the Firewall's IP rules.
Is that correct?
Does service endpoint protect against Azure resources accessing using public IP?
I really feel I miss something...
Thanks!
