Creating a Private Link service
A Private Link service allows us to set up a secure connection to resources associated with Standard Load Balancer. For that, we need to prepare infrastructure prior to deploying the Private Link service.
Getting ready
We must create a virtual machine first. Check the Creating Azure virtual machines recipe from Chapter 2, Virtual machine networking. Note that in the Networking section, we want to select the same virtual network that was used to connect the SQL server in the previous recipe.
A Private Link service requires Standard Load Balancer as well. See the Creating a public load balancer, Creating a backend pool, Creating health probes, and Creating load balancer rules recipes from Chapter 10, Load balancers. Note that in the backend target, we need to select the virtual machine we just created.
Now, open the browser and go to the Azure portal via https://portal.azure.com.
