Storage account should use a private link connection

What does this mean?

This recommendation ensures that Azure Storage accounts use Private Link connections, making them accessible only through private endpoints within your virtual network rather than over the public internet.

Benefits of implementation

• Eliminates public internet exposure of storage data
• Network traffic stays within the Azure backbone
• Required by multiple compliance frameworks

Drawbacks and considerations

• Requires Private Endpoint configuration per storage account
• Additional costs for private endpoints
• DNS configuration needed for private endpoint resolution
