Define public and private endpoints

Define public and private endpoints

- [Instructor] We'll close out this lesson with a definition of public and private endpoints. This is actually a very simple concept. A public endpoint is a resource that has an IP address that's reachable over the internet. A private endpoint has an IP address that is only reachable over a private network, it's really that simple. And a key point here is that a resource can have both a public and a private endpoint. Remember, when we were looking at the resources that were created when we created that virtual machine earlier, a virtual network was created. That virtual network had a private address space with a private endpoint for our virtual machine, but we also had a public IP address resource, and that public IP address resource provides us with a public endpoint for that virtual machine.
