Configure Azure Private Link for Blob Storage

Private Link is an Azure service that helps provide private network accessibility to a range of supported services. Private Link supports several Azure PaaS solutions, as well as customer-managed solutions (backed by a standard load balancer). In this lab, you will have the opportunity to configure the Private Link service for Azure Blob storage. This will enable private connectivity between a virtual machine and Blob storage, within a virtual network. After completing this lab, you'll be familiar with how to configure a Private Endpoint for the Azure Blob service, using Private Link. **Note:** In the lab, use the `West US` for the creation of resources.
