With this feature, Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server now offers three distinct methods for configuring connectivity to your servers:
- Public Access: Your flexible server is accessed through a public endpoint, represented by a publicly resolvable DNS address. You retain the flexibility to define firewall rules that specify the range of permissible IP addresses allowed to access your server.
- Private Endpoint (via Azure Private Link): Private endpoints provide a secure means to access Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server via a Private Link, allowing both public and private access simultaneously. If necessary, you have the choice to restrict public access using “Allow public access to this resource through the internet using a public IP address” setting, ensuring that connections are exclusively routed through private endpoints for heightened network security. It's also possible to configure or update Private Link settings either during or after the creation of the server.
- Private Access (VNet Integration): Private Access enable secure data access to the Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server with VNet integration. A delegated subnet is required for leveraging this feature and it can only be enabled during server creation. Private Access doesn’t support any public endpoints by design and cannot communicate with clients or servers within the virtual network.
