Microsoft Unveils Public Preview of Azure Private Link over IPv6

Microsoft has announced the public preview of Azure Private Link over IPv6, expanding private connectivity options for organizations adopting IPv6. The new capability allows customers to securely connect to Azure Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) resources via private IPv6 endpoints, reducing their reliance on IPv4-based connectivity.

The feature is currently available in selected Azure regions, including West Central US, East Asia, UK South, Central US, and North Europe. It supports various services such as Azure Storage, Azure SQL, Azure Key Vault, and Azure Data Explorer.

Azure Private Link over IPv6 enables organizations to securely connect to Azure PaaS services using private IPv6 endpoints, which eliminates the need to route traffic over the public internet. This capability also supports businesses that are expanding IPv6 adoption across their on-premises and cloud environments.
