PL 400 : register service endpoints including webhooks, Azure Service Bus, and Azure Event Hub (Publish and consume events)

Cloud computing is a revolutionary concept in modern technologies and Azure is the dominant player in the cloud markets. Azure provides cloud-computing systems and applications and is hosted in a Microsoft data center. Customers do not need to invest in any infrastructure or IT services for their environment. Azure provides a set of tools and application programming interfaces (APIs) to design applications and support the cloud computing platform offered by Microsoft. Service endpoint is cloud concept which enables private IP addresses in the VNet to reach the endpoint of an azure service without needing a public IP address on the VNet.

An endpoint is one end of a communication channel the touch points of the communications.

Microsoft provides service endpoint to connect with external systems and application with Dynamics 365 customer engagement. Developers can register plugins with Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE that can pass runtime message data, known as the execution context, to one or more Azure services. Azure Services Bus helps to integrate a legacy systems or applications and Webhooks send notifications to receivers about events.

Service Endpoint exposes the communication points for exchange the information/messages.
