Azure SQL Private Endpoint - can creating one cause downtime?

Suppose I have an Azure SQL Database Elastic Pool and I am accessing it from an Azure Web App via Firewall rules and everything is working fine.

Now suppose I want to add a new Private Endpoint to the Azure SQL Database Elastic Pool. This would NOT block access via the existing Firewall rules / access outside of the newly created Private Endpoint - is that right?

In other words, adding a Private Endpoint is not saying that access should now be Exclusive through the Private Endpoint but that the Private Endpoint is accessible and existing access channels are also still accessible - is that right?

I'm missing a bit of info: Does the web app have a public endpoint at the moment? Does the SQL Database have a public endpoint at the moment? Am I correct in assuming that the connection string in the webapp connects to the public endpoint of the SQL Database?

@Dresse Yes, and yes. Yes. So the question really is, does *adding* a Private Endpoint, but not removing the public one, cause downtime on the public endpoint?

I would suggest to carefully read the following article which basically answers your question. By default, adding a private endpoint would not block access to the public endpoint but it all depends on the connectivity settings that are configured.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
