Access Fabric data from application with Privatelink

[PanuO]

I want to access Fabric resources (Onelake through abffs and https) safely from an external app that is running on user private computers (users are connected into Azure with VPN). I have created private link between Fabric and Azure, but I still cannot access the resources by using the privatelink address. Is the privatelink used only for egress traffic (in Fabric point of view), or can I used it to access the data within Fabric?

Hi @PanuO 

 This might help

I have done this, but the problem is that app is not able to find the lakehouse resource through abfss path with privatelink address.

This is great and the documentation looks really good now.

Yes, Microsoft expects you to use Fabric for all integration (OneLake plus shortcuts). But, you can use a notebook to write parquet or delta tables to an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account/container, and then that would be available to external applications thru a private link.

OK. I am using Fabric to ingest data, but I would like to read it in another app and use private link to access the data.
