Storage learning-path-anchor Table service endpoint A Table service endpoint is the address your application uses when it talks to Azure Table Storage. For a normal Azure Storage account, it looks like an account-specific table URL. That address is not just a string in a connection setting; it determines DNS resolution, firewall evaluation, private endpoint routing, TLS, SDK configuration, and what operators test during an outage. If the endpoint is wrong, the table might exist and credentials might be valid, but clients still fail to connect.

Containers learning-path-anchor Target port A target port tells Azure Container Apps where to deliver traffic inside your container. Public or internal ingress may expose an endpoint, but the app still has to listen on a specific port. If the container listens on 8080 and ingress targets 80, users may see timeouts, failed probes, or gateway errors. The setting is small, but it is often the difference between the app being deployed and the app being reachable. It should match the application startup command, Dockerfile, framework port, and health probes.
