Conect API Managent to a Azure Fuctions only with private endpoints

Question

I have a Virtual Network (Vnet) with a Subnet (SVnet) inside the Vnet, I have a private Api Management (Apim) with a Private Endpoint associated with SVnet and a private Azure Function (AzFunc) with a Private Endpoint associated with SVnet.

It is important to clarify that both Apim and AzFucn are not directly connected to the Vnet, nor to the SVnet, they only have Private Endpoints to the SVnet.

¿Can the Apim access the AzFunc resource with this configuration?

Tirado, Carlos Thanks for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A. Currently, only inbound connections to API Management are supported. The outbound connections are not supported (like here connections to Azure Functions in this case) and check out the same in doc https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/private-endpoint. So, you cannot configure outbound connectivity from APIM to Functions via Private endpoint (similar discussion).

However, we have introduced public preview of new pricing tiers which supports private networking to and from your API Management service instance (to service like Functions) and check out the update: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/announcing-public-preview-of-azure-api-management-pricing-tiers-basic-v2-and-standard-v2/. For any feedback requests, feel free to submit it directly to our product team via https://aka.ms/apimwish.

I hope this helps and let us know if any questions.
