Does Azure Container Apps support VNET integration or VNET peering?

I am testing the new Azure Container Apps. I see this documentation that each app in the same environment is deployed in the same virtual network but I don't see any networking configurations on Azure Portal.

Normally I deploy my apps on App Service with VNET integration which uses my own private IP address space and peer App Service VNET with Azure SQL Managed Instance VNET so my apps can access the database. Is this possible with Azure Container Apps? If no, how can apps access the database that does not allow public endpoints?

Thanks.

    ****Update 2nd of February 2022****
    Azure Container Apps now supports Virtual Network Integration

    To host your containerized applications using Azure Container Apps, you must first deploy an Azure Container Apps environment. The environment can host one or more applications and establishes the network boundary, meaning all applications within the shared environment are deployed to the same Azure virtual network.

    Hello @Pitawat

    Azure Container Apps has been announced on the 2nd of November 2021 and currently in Preview state.
    Azure Container Apps does not currently support VNET integration or PrivateEndpoint.

    The use cases of Azure Container Apps:

    • Deploying API endpoints
    • Hosting background processing applications
    • Handling event-driven processing
    • Running microservices

    You may allow communications from all resources inside the Azure boundary to SQL via the firewall pane

    Are there plans to support integration with on-prem resources via VPN or Azure Express Route ?
