Migration of Azure Virtual Network injected Azure Data Explorer cluster to Private Endpoints

IN PREVIEW

If you are using VNet injection to secure your Azure Data Explorer (ADX) cluster, you may face some challenges such as complexity, scalability, and public IP dependency. We recommend that you switch to Azure Private Endpoints, which allow you to connect to your cluster privately within your VNet. We have released a preview feature that lets you migrate your VNet injected ADX cluster to Private Endpoints easily and quickly.
