On-Premise access to Azure Storage over Private Connectivity
The Challenge – Private Connectivity to Azure Storage Currently, Azure Storage services (Blob, File, Table, Queue, etc.) offers only public IP endpoints for device and client connectivity. While all communication with Azure Storage requires an encrypted TLS/SSL channel, there are customers who prefer device communication with storage services to occur over a private connection. There are several important use cases where Azure Storage would benefit from offering a private endpoint to devices and clients: · Private traffic though ExpressRoute (e.g., factory devices with secure private IPs that use MPLS for Cloud connectivity) · Private traffic through a VPN (e.g., remote sensors that use P2S for high security) · Devices requiring internal DNS resolution of a PaaS endpoint An Intermediate Solution – Azure Firewall as a Private Access Point to Azure Storage Azure Firewall is a managed, cloud-based network security service which
