I was following the documentation. Created private endpoints, and then created Private Link services. I encountered a problem where I'm unable to map my EXISTING private endpoints to the newly created Private Link service. Can we have some documentation on how to do that? is that even possible? otherwise I think the order of the documentation is misleading.

Its not possible to map existing Private Endpoints to Private Link Service. As part of Private Endpoint creation, you are required to provide the destination resource (Azure PaaS support Private Link or Private Link Service) to connect to. Without above info, PE creation will not proceed. Also once you create the private endpoint, you can't change the destination on it. You have to create a new PE for new connection. Hope that answers your question. Thanks

@sumeetmittal thanks for the super fast reply! So my understanding now - once we create a Private Endpoint that is associated with a PaaS Azure resource (like Azure SQL), there is no need to create an additional Private Link Service to the associated resource as it has been already created in the background.

You are correct. Azure PaaS Services and Private Link Service are independent concepts/entities. These are separate privately linkable destinations. Azure PaaS services that support Private Link are privately linkable by default. You will need a private link service when you want to create your own service (destination) behind a standard load balancer. Hope that helps
