If you have an FDI instance with a private endpoint and need a public endpoint, what option is available?

• A. Change the endpoint type in place.
• B. Terminate the existing instance and re-create the instance.
• C. Enable public access on the existing instance.
• D. Use a VPN to access publicly.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that the endpoint type of an FDI instance is determined at provisioning and cannot be changed afterward. If you start with a private endpoint and need a public one, there isn’t an in-place switch you can apply to that existing instance. The supported approach is to terminate the current private-endpoint instance and recreate a new instance configured with a public endpoint. Before doing so, back up or export any necessary data and configurations so you can migrate them to the new instance.

Other options aren’t viable for obtaining a public endpoint from an existing private-endpoint instance. You can’t flip the endpoint type in place, enabling public access on the existing instance isn’t supported, and using a VPN doesn’t create a true public endpoint.
