如何从Azure Web App读写文件到本地NAS？

Question

I have a web app (.NET MVC) running on an Azure App Service. This application creates some PDF files and i want to store them in an on-premise NAS in my organization that requires credentials to access it.

1. How is this possible?
2. Is it secure?
3. What is the best practice?

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible. To realize it as the figure below shown, the two requirements are as below.

1. There is an on-premise server can mount your on-premise NAS Filesystem for reading and writing files.
2. On Azure, you need to create a VPN gateway to build a Site-to-Site VPN connection for helping your Azure WebApp to request your on-premise server to relay the file operations.

For more details about Azure VPN Gateway, please refer to the offical tutorial Create a Site-to-Site connection in the Azure portal to know how to get started.

And yes, it's secure. I think it's a general solution.

Hope it helps.
