With Azure NetApp Files object REST API, you can use OneLake shortcuts to virtualize Azure NetApp Files into Microsoft Fabric's unified data lake. With this shortcut, Azure AI search can index and retrieve data directly from Azure NetApp Files for semantic search and vector-based retrieval with intelligent applications.
Sensitive information is protected through Microsoft Virtual Networks and Azure NetApp Files robust security protocols when you create the OneLake shortcut. A virtual data lake design approach simplifies data sharing across Azure's Data and AI services, improving collaboration.
Before you begin
- You must have created an Azure NetApp Files object REST API-enabled volume.
- You must install and configure an on-premises data gateway on a virtual machine with network access to your Azure NetApp Files bucket endpoint.
Note
When you install the data gateway, ensure you're using an up-to-date release.
Connect to OneLake
Create a workspace in OneLake.
In OneLake, right-click the workspace then select Create new lakehouse.
After the lakehouse is successfully created, select New shortcut. Follow the instructions to Create a OneLake shortcut.
The endpoint must be a URL with the volume's IP address, for example
http://0.0.0.0or a fully qualified ___domain name, such ashttps://myanfendpoint.contoso.com.Select your on-premises data gateway in the Data Gateway field. After you provide the access key and secret key, the Azure NetApp Files data appears in your OneLake workspace.
Connect to Azure AI Search
After connecting to OneLake, you can connect a volume to Azure AI Search to create a search service. For additional information, see How to index OneLake files.
