Storage Account Connectivity Options

Administrators must determine how users and applications will connect to the storage account during the initial provisioning phase. There are three primary connection options available:

• Public Endpoints: These allow internet access but can be secured using virtual network filters and firewall rules.
• Service Endpoints: These provide secure, direct connections to Azure services over the private Azure backbone network.
• Private Endpoints: These utilize Azure Private Link to route traffic privately by assigning a private IP address from your virtual network.

Choosing private endpoints provides the highest level of security by isolating the storage account from the public internet entirely.
