Quickstart: Create a Private Link service using Azure CLI

Get started creating a Private Link service that refers to your service. Give Private Link access to your service or resource deployed behind an Azure Standard Load Balancer. Users of your service have private access from their virtual network.

[!INCLUDE azure-cli-prepare-your-environment.md]

  • This quickstart requires version 2.0.28 or later of the Azure CLI. If using Azure Cloud Shell, the latest version is already installed.

Create a resource group

An Azure resource group is a logical container into which Azure resources are deployed and managed.

Create a resource group with az group create:

  • Named test-rg.

  • In the eastus2 location.

az group create \
    --name test-rg \
    --location eastus2

Create an internal load balancer

In this section, you create a virtual network and an internal Azure Load Balancer.

Virtual network

In this section, you create a virtual network and subnet to host the load balancer that accesses your Private Link service.

Create a virtual network using az network vnet create:

  • Named vnet-1.

  • Address prefix of 10.0.0.0/16.

  • Subnet named subnet-1.

  • Subnet prefix of 10.0.0.0/24.

  • In the test-rg resource group.

  • Location of eastus2.

  • Disable the network policy for private link service on the subnet.

az network vnet create \
    --resource-group test-rg \
    --location eastus2 \
    --name vnet-1 \
    --address-prefixes 10.0.0.0/16 \
    --subnet-name subnet-1 \
    --subnet-prefixes 10.0.0.0/24

Create standard load balancer

This section details how you can create and configure the following components of the load balancer:

  • A frontend IP pool that receives the incoming network traffic on the load balancer.

  • A backend IP pool where the frontend pool sends the load balanced network traffic.

  • A health probe that determines health of the backend VM instances.

  • A load balancer rule that defines how traffic is distributed to the VMs.

Create the load balancer resource

Create a public load balancer with az network lb create:

  • Named load-balancer.

  • A frontend pool named frontend.

  • A backend pool named backend-pool.

  • Associated with the virtual network vnet-1.

  • Associated with the backend subnet subnet-1.

az network lb create \
    --resource-group test-rg \
    --name load-balancer \
    --sku Standard \
    --vnet-name vnet-1 \
    --subnet subnet-1 \
    --frontend-ip-name frontend \
    --backend-pool-name backend-pool

Create the health probe

A health probe checks all virtual machine instances to ensure they can send network traffic.

A virtual machine with a failed probe check is removed from the load balancer. The virtual machine is added back into the load balancer when the failure is resolved.

Create a health probe with az network lb probe create:

  • Monitors the health of the virtual machines.

  • Named health-probe.

  • Protocol TCP.

  • Monitoring Port 80.

az network lb probe create \
    --resource-group test-rg \
    --lb-name load-balancer \
    --name health-probe \
    --protocol tcp \
    --port 80

Create the load balancer rule

A load balancer rule defines:

  • Frontend IP configuration for the incoming traffic.

  • The backend IP pool to receive the traffic.

  • The required source and destination port.

Create a load balancer rule with az network lb rule create:

  • Named http-rule

  • Listening on Port 80 in the frontend pool frontend.

  • Sending load-balanced network traffic to the backend address pool backend-pool using Port 80.

  • Using health probe health-probe.

  • Protocol TCP.

  • Idle timeout of 15 minutes.

  • Enable TCP reset.

az network lb rule create \
    --resource-group test-rg \
    --lb-name load-balancer \
    --name http-rule \
    --protocol tcp \
    --frontend-port 80 \
    --backend-port 80 \
    --frontend-ip-name frontend \
    --backend-pool-name backend-pool \
    --probe-name health-probe \
    --idle-timeout 15 \
    --enable-tcp-reset true

Disable network policy

Before a private link service can be created in the virtual network, the setting privateLinkServiceNetworkPolicies must be disabled.

az network vnet subnet update \
    --name subnet-1 \
    --vnet-name vnet-1 \
    --resource-group test-rg \
    --disable-private-link-service-network-policies yes

Create a private link service

In this section, create a private link service that uses the Azure Load Balancer created in the previous step.

Create a private link service using a standard load balancer frontend IP configuration with az network private-link-service create:

  • Named private-link-service.

  • In virtual network vnet-1.

  • Associated with standard load balancer load-balancer and frontend configuration frontend.

  • In the eastus2 location.

az network private-link-service create \
    --resource-group test-rg \
    --name private-link-service \
    --vnet-name vnet-1 \
    --subnet subnet-1 \
    --lb-name load-balancer \
    --lb-frontend-ip-configs frontend \
    --location eastus2

Your private link service is created and can receive traffic. If you want to see traffic flows, configure your application behind your standard load balancer.

Create private endpoint

In this section, you map the private link service to a private endpoint. A virtual network contains the private endpoint for the private link service. This virtual network contains the resources that access your private link service.

Create private endpoint virtual network

Create a virtual network using az network vnet create:

  • Named vnet-pe.

  • Address prefix of 10.1.0.0/16.

  • Subnet named subnet-pe.

  • Subnet prefix of 10.1.0.0/24.

  • In the test-rg resource group.

  • Location of eastus2.

az network vnet create \
    --resource-group test-rg \
    --location eastus2 \
    --name vnet-pe \
    --address-prefixes 10.1.0.0/16 \
    --subnet-name subnet-pe \
    --subnet-prefixes 10.1.0.0/24

Create endpoint and connection

  • Use az network private-link-service show to get the resource ID of the private link service. The command places the resource ID into a variable for later use.

  • Use az network private-endpoint create to create the private endpoint in the virtual network you created previously.

  • Named private-endpoint.

  • In the test-rg resource group.

  • Connection name connection-1.

  • Location of eastus2.

  • In virtual network vnet-pe and subnet subnet-pe.

export resourceid=$(az network private-link-service show \
    --name private-link-service \
    --resource-group test-rg \
    --query id \
    --output tsv)

az network private-endpoint create \
    --connection-name connection-1 \
    --name private-endpoint \
    --private-connection-resource-id $resourceid \
    --resource-group test-rg \
    --subnet subnet-pe \
    --manual-request false \
    --vnet-name vnet-pe

Clean up resources

When no longer needed, use the az group delete command to remove the resource group, private link service, load balancer, and all related resources.

az group delete \
    --name test-rg
