Is Azure peering public?
Azure public peering (deprecated for new circuits) Some services must be offered in public IP addresses, e.g., Azure Storage, SQL databases and Websites. Connectivity to services hosted on public IP addresses, including the virtual IP addresses of cloud services, can be done privately via the public trust routing domain.
Can Azure services be hosted on public IP?
Some services must be offered in public IP addresses, e. g., Azure Storage, SQL databases and Websites. Connectivity to services hosted on public IP addresses, including the virtual IP addresses of cloud services, can be done privately via the public trust routing domain. Connection to public trust domain to user DMZ can be established and connected to all Azure services on the public IP addresses from user WAN without having to communicate via the Internet.
