General Availability: Azure Managed HSM Backup/Restore when Storage is Behind a Private Endpoint
We are excited to announce the General Availability of support for Azure Key Vault Managed HSM backup/restore when the storage account is behind a private endpoint. We are giving customers a new way to back up and restore using a user assigned managed identity. This method allows customers to backup/restore regardless of whether public access is enabled or disabled. Further, by becoming a Microsoft Trusted Service, we have enhanced the backup and restore flow by allowing for private endpoint connection to Azure Storage accounts while backing up and restoring Managed HSM resources. This helps reduce the risk of exposure to public internet and helps address compliance needs.
