Azure blob storage networking rules (Ip) for Azure data warehouse - azure

Question

I need to load external data (in blob storage) to my Azure data warehouse using Polybase. I had it working fine when I was using Classic Azure Storage.
Recently, I have to update our Storage to ARM and I could not figure out how to set up the firewall rule on the ARM Storage to my Azure data warehouse. If I set the firewall to "All networks" everything works seamlessly. However, I cannot let the blob wide open.
I tried using nslookup to find the outbound ip for our Azure Data warehouse and put the value into the Firewall of the Storage; I got "This request is not authorized to perform this operation." error
Is there a way I can find the ip address for an Azure Data warehouse? Or I should use different approach to make it work?
Any Suggestions are appreciated.

Answer 1

Under the section 1.1 Create a Credential, it states:
Don't skip this step if you are using this tutorial as a template for loading your own data. To access data through a credential, use the following script to create a database-scoped credential, and then use it when defining the location of the data source.
-- A: Create a master key.
-- Only necessary if one does not already exist.
-- Required to encrypt the credential secret in the next step.
CREATE MASTER KEY;
-- B: Create a database scoped credential
-- IDENTITY: Provide any string, it is not used for authentication to Azure storage.
-- SECRET: Provide your Azure storage account key.
CREATE DATABASE SCOPED CREDENTIAL AzureStorageCredential
WITH
IDENTITY = 'user',
SECRET = '<azure_storage_account_key>'
;
-- C: Create an external data source
-- TYPE: HADOOP - PolyBase uses Hadoop APIs to access data in Azure blob storage.
-- LOCATION: Provide Azure storage account name and blob container name.
-- CREDENTIAL: Provide the credential created in the previous step.
CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE AzureStorage
WITH (
TYPE = HADOOP,
LOCATION = 'wasbs://<blob_container_name>#<azure_storage_account_name>.blob.core.windows.net',
CREDENTIAL = AzureStorageCredential
);
Edit: (additional way to access Blobs from ADW through the use of SAS):
You also can create a Storage linked service by using a shared access signature. It provides the data factory with restricted/time-bound access to all/specific resources (blob/container) in the storage.
A shared access signature provides delegated access to resources in your storage account. You can use a shared access signature to grant a client limited permissions to objects in your storage account for a specified time. You don't have to share your account access keys. The shared access signature is a URI that encompasses in its query parameters all the information necessary for authenticated access to a storage resource. To access storage resources with the shared access signature, the client only needs to pass in the shared access signature to the appropriate constructor or method. For more information about shared access signatures, see Shared access signatures: Understand the shared access signature model.
