To ensure that only hosts on VNET1 can access the slcnage42150372 storage account and that access occurs over the Azure backbone network, you can use Azure Private Endpoints . This method secures the connection by assigning a private IP address from your virtual network to the storage account, ensuring that traffic does not traverse the public internet.
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Create a Private Endpoint for the Storage Account
Navigate to the Azure Portal .
Search for “Storage accounts” and select the slcnage42150372 storage account.
In the storage account blade , select “Networking” under the “Security + networking” section.
Under “Private endpoint connections” , click on “Add private endpoint” .
Enter the following details :
Name : Enter a name for the private endpoint (e.g., PrivateEndpoint-VNET1).
Region : Select the same region as your virtual network (VNET1).
Click on “Next: Resource” .
Step 2: Configure the Resource
Select “Target sub-resource” : Choose the storage service you want to connect to (e.g., blob, file, queue, table).
Click on “Next: Virtual network” .
Step 3: Select the Virtual Network and Subnet
Select the virtual n etwork : Choose VNET1.
Select the subnet : Choose the appropriate subnet within VNET1.
Click on “Next: Configuration” .
Step 4: Configure DNS Integration (Optional)
Configure DNS settings if needed to ensure proper name resolution within your virtual network.
Click on “Next: Tags” , add any tags if necessary, and then click on “Review + create” .
Review your settings and click on “Create” .
Step 5: Restrict Public Network Access
Navigate back to the storage account .
Select “Networking” under the “Security + networking” section.
Under “Firewalls and virtual networks” , select “Selected networks” .
Ensure that only VNET1 is listed under the virtual networks section.
Click on “Save” .
Explanation
Private Endpoints : These provide secure connectivity to Azure services by assigning a private IP address from your VNet to the service, ensuring that traffic stays wit hin the Azure backbone ne twork 1 2 .
Firewall and Virtual Networks : Configuring the storage account to allow access only from selected networks (VNET1) ensures that no other network can access the s torage account 3 .
By following these steps, you can ensure that only hosts on VNET1 can access the slcnage42150372 storage account, and that all access occurs over the secure Azure backbone network.
