Adding a private endpoint to an existing container app environment

Question

I created a container app before creating a private endpoint and do not see the private endpoint listed in the left blade under networking in the container app environment section. Do I need to recreate the container app in order to view the private endpoint from the networking (preview) section under the container app environment?

Hello Rob Birdwell (Atlas),

It seems you're working with an Azure Container App and trying to set up a private endpoint. You usually don’t need to recreate the container app to see the private endpoint in the "Networking (Preview)" section. Here are some simple steps to check:

• Make sure your private endpoint is correctly linked to the container app environment. If it’s not connected properly, it might not show up in the networking section.
• Go to the Private Endpoint in the Azure portal and confirm that it’s connected to the Container App Environment.
• Ensure that both your container app and the private endpoint are in the same region. If they are in different regions, this could cause visibility and access issues.
• Sometimes, the Azure portal may not update immediately. Try refreshing the page or logging out and back in to see if that helps.

Since this is a preview feature, there may be some delays or quirks in how updates are displayed. If the private endpoint doesn’t show up right away, wait a little while to see if it appears later.

For your reference, please review the following documentations for further clarification:

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot the issue with your private endpoint.
