Deploy Azure SQL with Private Endpoint and Test Connectivity from AKS

This tutorial demonstrates how to: Create networking for AKS Deploy an AKS cluster using Azure CNI Overlay Deploy Azure SQL Database Secure it using a Private Endpoint Fix DNS resolution using Private DNS Zone Verify connectivity from Kubernetes using debugging pods The goal is to allow AKS pods to securely connect to Azure SQL using private networking only . 1. Define Environment Variables First define reusable variables. LOCATION = southeastasia RG_NETWORK = rg-aks-network RG_OVERLAY = rg-aks-overlay RG_UNDERLAY = rg-aks-underlay VNET_NAME = vnet-aks-lab SUBNET_OVERLAY = subnet-overlay SUBNET_UNDERLAY = subnet-underlay AKS_OVERLAY = aks-overlay AKS_UNDERLAY = aks-underlay 2. Create Resource Groups Create resource groups to organize infrastructure. az group create --name $RG_NETWORK --location $LOCATION az group create --name $RG_OVERLAY --location $LOCATION az group create --name $RG_UNDERLAY --location $LOCATION 3. Create Virtual Network Create a VNet that will host: AKS nodes Priva
