Create and associate service endpoint policies

Service endpoint policies enable you to filter virtual network traffic to specific Azure resources, over service endpoints. If you're not familiar with service endpoint policies, see service endpoint policies overview to learn more.

In this tutorial, you learn how to:

  • Create a virtual network.
  • Add a subnet and enable service endpoint for Azure Storage.
  • Create two Azure Storage accounts and allow network access to it from the subnet in the virtual network.
  • Create a service endpoint policy to allow access only to one of the storage accounts.
  • Deploy a virtual machine (VM) to the subnet.
  • Confirm access to the allowed storage account from the subnet.
  • Confirm access is denied to the nonallowed storage account from the subnet.

    ## Replace the login account with the name of the storage account you created.
    $credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList ("Azure\deniedaccount"), $acctKey
    ## Replace the storage account name with the name of the storage account you created.
    New-PSDrive -Name Z -PSProvider FileSystem -Root "\\deniedaccount.file.core.windows.net\file-share" -Credential $credential
    
  10. Select Run.

  11. You receive the following error message in the Output box:

    New-PSDrive : Access is denied
    At line:1 char:1
    + New-PSDrive -Name Z -PSProvider FileSystem -Root "\\deniedaccount8675 ...
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (Z:PSDriveInfo) [New-PSDrive], Win32Exception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotMapNetworkDrive,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewPSDriveCommand
