There are various scenarios wherein you would need to access data on Azure Storage or secrets from Azure Key Vault from a Data Factory pipeline or your applications. Often there is a security requirement to prevent any unknown sources from accessing the Storage account or the Azure Key Vault service. In such circumstances, you can use the ‘Allow trusted Microsoft services...’ setting in the firewall to enable access to your data from 'Trusted Services' without requiring you to allow connections from all network. For more details on 'Trusted Services', please refer azure storage and azure key vault documentation.
Data Factory is now part of ‘Trusted Services’ in Azure Key Vault and Azure Storage. Integration runtime (Azure, Self-hosted, and SSIS) can now connect to Storage/ Key Vault without having to be inside the same virtual network or requiring you to allow all inbound connections to the service.
Note: Both Data Movement and Mapping Data flows are also supported as ‘Trusted Services’.
Note: We are actively working on adding the capability to add/ peer an Azure IR inside VNET.
Note: Only Managed Identity authentication is supported when using ‘Trusted Service’ functionality in storage to allow Azure Data Factory to access its data.
