Configuring Azure Private Link

info

Private Link is available to users on the Pro Plus plan.

Azure Private Link is a secure and scalable way to access Azure services over a private endpoint within a virtual network. Using Private Link, traffic between your virtual network and the Azure service travels over the Microsoft backbone network. Data Integration is a SaaS platform that lets you automate and orchestrate data pipelines for any data source.

Supported Azure resource types

Azure Private Link supports connectivity to multiple Azure resource types from Data Integration:

Resource typeUse caseResource providerSub-resource
Azure SQL ServerDatabase source/target connectorsMicrosoft.Sql/serverssqlServer
Azure Blob StorageAzure Blob Storage source connectorMicrosoft.Storage/storageAccountsblob
Azure DatabricksAzure Databricks connectorrefer to Configuring Azure Databricks Private Link—

The setup process is the same for all supported resource types. The key difference is the Resource ID format and the sub-resource type used when creating the private endpoint.
