what is the role of Managed private endpoints for Fabric

  • Managed private endpoints are connections that workspace admins can create to access data sources that are behind a firewall or that are blocked from accessing from the public internet.
  • Managed private endpoints allow Fabric Spark workloads to securely access data sources without exposing them to the public network or requiring complex network configurations.
  • The private endpoints provide a secure way to connect and access the data from these data sources using items such as notebooks and Spark job definitions.
  • Microsoft Fabric creates and manages managed private endpoints based on the inputs from the workspace admin. Workspace admins can set up managed private endpoints from the workspace settings by specifying the resource ID of the data source, identifying the target subresource, and providing a justification for the private endpoint request.
  • Managed private endpoints support various data sources, such as Azure Storage, Azure SQL Database and many more.
