Connecting Cosmos DB to Azure Data Explorer using Private Endpoint
What is Cosmos DB?
Azure Cosmos DB is Microsoft’s globally distributed, multi-model database service for mission-critical applications. It offers turnkey global distribution, elastic scalability of throughput and storage, single-digit millisecond latencies at the 99th percentile, and guaranteed high availability, all backed by industry-leading SLAs. It’s designed for developers who need to build planet-scale apps that can be distributed across different regions and countries.What is Azure Data Explorer?
Azure Data Explorer (ADX) is a fully managed data exploration and analytics service that enables the rapid development of solutions to gain insights into large volumes of data. It can quickly analyze massive amounts of data and quickly identify trends and anomalies. ADX is a great tool for data scientists, data engineers, and business analysts to explore data quickly and gain insights into their data.Private Endpoint for Cosmos DB
Microsoft recently announced the availability of private endpoint support for Azure Cosmos DB. This support enables customers to securely access their Cosmos DB data from within their Virtual Network (VNet) and on-premises networks. This feature can be used to allow applications running on-premises or in a different VNet to access Cosmos DB data. It is also possible to restrict access to users and applications within the same VNet or on-premises.Benefits of Private Endpoint
Private endpoint provides a secure connection to Cosmos DB. It ensures that all traffic between the two networks is encrypted and secure. Additionally, it allows customers to control and monitor access to their Cosmos DB data from within their VNet or on-premises. This feature also makes it easier to manage access to the data by allowing customers to create firewall rules and access control lists to restrict access to their data.How to Connect Cosmos DB to Azure Data Explorer using Private Endpoint
Customers can connect their Cosmos DB data to Azure Data Explorer using a private endpoint. This feature enables customers to securely access their Cosmos DB data from within their VNet or on-premises. To use this feature, customers need to create a private endpoint in the same VNet or on-premises network as their Cosmos DB account. Once the private endpoint is created, customers can use the private endpoint IP address and port to access the Cosmos DB data from within their VNet or on-premises.Conclusion
Private endpoint support for Cosmos DB to Azure Data Explorer is a great way to securely access your data. It enables customers to control and monitor access to their data from within their VNet or on-premises. Additionally, it makes it easier to manage access to the data by allowing customers to create firewall rules and access control lists to restrict access to their data. This feature provides a secure connection to Cosmos DB and ensures that all traffic between the two networks is encrypted and secure.
