What is Azure Monitor Private Link Scope (AMPLS)?

Azure Monitor Private Link Scope (AMPLS) is a feature that allows you to securely connect Azure Monitor resources to your virtual network using private endpoints. This ensures that your monitoring data is accessed only through authorized private networks, preventing data exfiltration and keeping all traffic inside the Azure backbone network. 

AMPLS – Scale Limits Increased by 10x in Public Cloud - Public Preview

In a groundbreaking development, we are excited to share that the scale limits for Azure Monitor Private Link Scope (AMPLS) have been significantly increased by tenfold (10x) in Public Cloud regions as part of the Public Preview! This substantial enhancement empowers our customers to manage their resources more efficiently and securely with private links using AMPLS, ensuring that workload logs are routed via the Microsoft backbone network.

Addressing Customer Challenges

Top Azure Strategic 500 customers, including leading Telecom service providers, Banking & Financial services customers, have reported that the previous limits of AMPLS were insufficient to meet their growing demands. The need for private links has surged 3-5 times beyond capacity, impacting network isolation and integration of critical workloads. 

Real-World Impact

Our solution now enables customers to scale their Azure Monitor resources significantly, ensuring seamless network configurations and enhanced performance.

Scenario 1:

A Leading Telecom Service Provider known for its micro-segmentation architecture, have faced challenges with large-scale monitoring and reporting due to limitations on AMPLS. With the new solution, the customer can now scale up to 3,000 Log Analytics and 10,000 Application Insights workspaces with a single AMPLS resource, allowing them to configure over 13,000 Azure Monitor resources effortlessly.

Scenario 2: 

A Leading Banking & Financial Services Customer have faced the scale challenges in delivering personalized insights due to complex workflows. By utilizing Azure Monitor with network isolation configurations, the customer can now scale their Azure Monitor resources to ensure secure telemetry flow and compliance. They have enabled thousands of Azure Monitor resources configured with AMPLS.

Key Benefits to the Customer

We believe that the solution our team has developed will significantly improve our customers' experience, allowing them to manage their resources more efficiently and effectively with private links using AMPLS.

  • An AMPLS object can now connect up to 3,000 Log Analytics workspaces and 10,000 Application Insights components. (10x Increase)
    • The Log Analytics workspace limit has been increased from 300 to 3,000 (10x increase).
    • The Application Insights limit has increased from 1,000 to 10,000 (10x increase).
  • An Azure Monitor resources can now connect up to 100 AMPLSs (20x increase).
    • Data Collection Endpoint (DCE)
    • Log Analytics Workspace (LA WS)
    • Application Insights components (AI)
  • An AMPLS object can connect to 10 private endpoints at most.
  • Redesign of AMPLS – User experience to load 13K+ resources with Pagination
