# Relay Namespace

An Azure Relay Namespace is a container that hosts one or more relay entities used for secure, firewall‑friendly communication between applications. It enables hybrid connectivity by allowing on‑premises services to be accessed from the cloud without opening inbound ports. The namespace provides the endpoint, authentication, and management scope for all relay resources.
