Meetup location what3words:///daisy.coffee.awards Session 1 Joe Hodkinson - Going Local in Azure Session 2 Precious Ajuru - Private link for Multi Tenant Applications Session details Many organizations need to provide secure access to services across multiple customers, tenants, or business units while avoiding exposure to the public internet. The challenge becomes even greater when overlapping IP address spaces prevent traditional networking approaches such as VNet peering. In this session, we'll explore how Azure Private Link Service can be used to securely expose applications to multiple consumers while maintaining network isolation and simplifying connectivity. We'll walk through the architecture, discuss common design patterns, examine how Private Link helps address overlapping network scenarios, and review practical considerations for implementing the solution in Azure.
