Replicate connection to an Azure Storage Account Private Endpoint

Azure Storage Account has the capability to be connected to over an Azure Private Endpoint, which means that the traffic does not go out to the internet, but traverses your existing network / Azure Express Route connection.

With this:

  • data does not go out to the internet.
  • response times are predictable as the traffic remains on the internal network.
  • the Storage Account Public Endpoint can be closed to protect it from bad actors.
  • Internal security teams are happier with this set-up.

Azure Storage Explorer installed on the same machine as Replicate is able to connect to both Public and Private Endpoints seamlessly, a change to the Proxy and a hosts files (or DNS entry) controls this.  Replicate currently fails to connect to the Private Endpoint, check my support ticket for details on this.

Hi, in Replicate the target endpoint connection for this feature request is [Microsoft Azure ADLS].

I have the same scenario here. Did you get a solution to access via a private endpoint?

Hi, we are still using the Public Endpoint (internet),I am hoping that Qlik add using Private Endpoint to their roadmap and least then we know it is coming in the future.

Please provide an update when Qlik Replicate will support connecting to Azure Data Lake Storage via a private link. We are forced to use a public route to a public ADLS endpoint due to this limitation.
