VPC Block Public Access has no single Azure switch. The closest combination is private subnets (no default outbound access) plus Azure Policy rules that deny public IPs and internet-facing resources.
- VPC Block Public Access blocks internet gateway traffic for an account and Region in one setting, with exclusions per VPC or subnet. On Azure, the guardrail is assembled from private subnets, policies, NSG or security admin rules, and routing through Azure Firewall.
