I have a working [Elastic Cloud deployment (as an ISV) on my Azure subscription](https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/elastic.ec-azure-pp?tab=overview). I am using the platforms' [Azure blob connector](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search/current/connectors-azure-blob.html) to sync documents from a Blob container to Elasticsearch.

Since the ES deployment is not on my Azure subscription- I want to secure and restrict access to my Blob storage.

On the face of things I have two options: either use a PrivateLink or specify IP filtering on my blob storage based on the Elastic Cloud static IP list provided [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-static-ips.html#:%7E:text=There%20are%20two%20types%20of,Cloud%20deployments%20over%20the%20Internet.).

When I configured the static IPs in the Blob storage networking pane and tried running the Blob storage sync, I got an AuthorizationFailure; Unfortunately without specific details.

Is what I am trying to do even possible or is PrivateLink my only option? Perhaps there is some other IP range I am missing.
