Deploy a Secure Web App Using NSGs and Private Endpoints

You are a cloud engineer at Globomantics tasked with securing platform services so they are reachable only over private networks. In this lab, you’ll integrate Azure PaaS services with Private Link, validate access from a workload VM, and enforce segmentation with a network security group (NSG). By the end, you’ll understand how to expose business apps privately, minimize public surface area, and verify that network policy does what you intend.
