Azure load balancer and Private endpoints
Is it possible to setup a Azure load balancer with private endpoints? I've seen documentation that suggest you can but nothing concrete. If anyone here can point me to Documentation that pertains to this topic, I would appreciate the effort.

- Hi RAWGJ,
Do you mean private endpoint backends or that the Load Balancer has a private IP? Both is possible:
1. The Load Balancer can be configured with a private frontend IP that is only accessible for your Azure resources that are in the same VNet or peered to the VNet
2. If you have PLE enabled resources you can point the Load Balancer backend pool to the IP address that was asssigned to the PLE resource. You have to make sure that the Load Balancer is in the same VNet or peered to the VNet where the PLE is in.- bjg
