How to use Terraform to approve a Managed Private Endpoint on a Blob Storage ADLS Gen2?

Question

I have created several managed private endpoints on a Synapse Analytics workspace using Terraform. Now I do not know how to "Approve" them since I cannot seem to find the right resource to perform this action.

To do it manually I need to go to the Storage account -> Networks -> Private Endpoints, selected the ones to be "Approved" and press Approve.

If you're still interested, I've done this in Terraform like so:

resource "null_resource" "endpoint_approval" {
  depends_on = [module.sql_managed_endpoint, module.storage_managed_endpoint]
  provisioner "local-exec" {
    command     = <<-EOT
          $sql_id = $(az network private-endpoint-connection list --id ${module.mssql_server.id} --query "[?contains(properties.privateEndpoint.id, 'vnet')].id" -o json) | ConvertFrom-Json
          $storage_id = $(az network private-endpoint-connection list --id ${module.storage_account.storage_account_id} --query "[?contains(properties.privateEndpoint.id, 'vnet')].id" -o json) | ConvertFrom-Json
          az network private-endpoint-connection approve --id $sql_id --description "Approved in Terraform"
          az network private-endpoint-connection approve --id $storage_id --description "Approved in Terraform"
        EOT
    interpreter = ["pwsh", "-Command"]
  }
}

Answer 2

As of today, you can't approve a Managed Private Endpoint using Terraform.

You may checkout the Synapse Managed Private Endpoint - auto_approval option which has already asked in the hashicorp.

Note: Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI are the preferred methods for managing Private Endpoint connections on Microsoft Partner Services or customer owned services.
