  • NetApp Console
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Azure Container Registry (ACR)

Answer

    There is no direct or continuous communication between the ACR storage account and the Connector agent. Any interaction is one way, on demand, and initiated only by the Connector.The Connector agent runs multiple internal containers. These containers are pulled from Azure Container Registry (ACR) during:
    • Initial NetApp Console agent deployment
    • NetApp Console agent upgrades
    • NetApp Console agent service/container restarts
  • The communication is outbound from the Console agent to ACR over HTTPS using Azure control plane APIs.
  • While ACR uses an Azure managed storage account to store container image layers, this storage account is fully abstracted and managed by Azure.
  • The NetApp Console agent never communicates directly with the ACR storage account.
  • All access happens through ACR service endpoints, not at the storage account level.
