Create a Private Endpoint

This document provides instructions for customers to create a private endpoint to connect to the Compass APIs.

The customer can connect to Compass using a public or private endpoint.

When customers do not want to use a public network or have concerns about data transfers through the internet, they can reach out to the Compass team to get a private endpoint.

To use a private endpoint, customers need an Azure Portal with an active subscription, and there are a few configurations to perform from their side, whose information can be found in the preceding sections.
