Set up Private Connections on Azure
Ververica Cloud offers the capability to establish private connections with Microsoft Azure services. You can create such connections by configuring your access to your Azure environment, then including your Azure service information in the Private Connections settings in Ververica Cloud.
Ververica Cloud currently supports private connections to Azure services, including Azure Events Hub, Azure Blob Storage, and Azure Database for PostgreSQL.
Ververica Cloud can establish network connectivity with Azure services through two primary means:
-
Public Connection: You can grant public network access for Azure services, allowing Ververica Cloud to connect directly over the public network.
-
Private Connection: This method allows Ververica Cloud to connect with your Azure services over the intranet. Authentication is managed through a configured Azure identity, which grants Ververica Cloud secure access to your resources.
Benefits of Private Connections
Private connections offer:
- Enhanced Security: Avoid exposing services to the public internet.
- Cost Reduction: Lower network traffic costs compared to public connections.
- Improved Performance: Potentially reduced latency with internal network routes.
Connection Statuses
Once you set up a private connection, its status can be one of the following:
- CREATING: The creation process has started.
- CREATED: Successfully established.
- FAILED: Errors encountered during the creation process.
- DELETING: The deletion process has begun.
Limitations
- Disabling and re-enabling VPC Endpoints is not supported.
