How to connect to a azure private storage account from a public azure static web app

Question

I have a azure storage account with restricted access to VNet and there is a requirement to connect to it from a public facing azure static web app.

Is there any way to achieve this, I have already tried private endpoint for the static web app but that does not help as it makes my public app private and also my app is behind a front door and it does not support private endpoint for static web app.

Thank you for asking this question on the Microsoft Q&A Platform.

A way to achieve your requirement, you must add an extra resource (Application Gateway)

First, you connect your storage account to your static web app via a private link, then you connect the Web App to the Application Gateway.

The Application Gateway will be your internet-facing IP.

Let me know how it goes!

Hope this helps!
