Clarified requirements for accessing ADLS storage accounts behind private endpoints. Added statements which make it clear that if storage is public then there is no additional setup required , if this is private then additonal setup is required to get this to work

Pull request overview

Updates the Azure Databricks private endpoint mirroring documentation to clarify when extra configuration is needed to access Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) from a Databricks workspace, depending on whether the storage account is publicly accessible or private.

Changes:

  • Adds guidance stating no extra setup is needed when the ADLS storage account is public.
  • Adds guidance indicating additional configuration is needed when the ADLS storage account is behind a private endpoint, with a link to the relevant setup section.

The virtual network data gateway securely routes traffic between the mirrored Azure Databricks catalog item and the Azure Databricks workspace. It uses a private endpoint within your virtual network and Azure backbone connectivity. This architecture ensures that all communication remains isolated within private IP spaces and avoids public network exposure. For more information, see [What is a virtual network (VNet) data gateway?](/data-integration/vnet/overview)

You can also connect to your ADLS storage accounts that are behind a private endpoint. For more information, see [Enable network security access for your Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account](azure-databricks-tutorial.md#enable-network-security-access-for-your-azure-data-lake-storage-gen2-account).
There is no additonal setup required if the ADLS storage account being used by the databricks workspace is public.

This sentence uses unclear/colloquial wording ("is public") and inconsistent capitalization ("databricks"). Consider rephrasing in second person and specifying what “public” means (for example, public network access enabled vs. behind a private endpoint) to avoid ambiguity.

Suggested change
There is no additonal setup required if the ADLS storage account being used by the databricks workspace is public.
You don't need any additional setup if the ADLS storage account used by your Azure Databricks workspace allows public network access and isn't restricted to private endpoints.

There is no additonal setup required if the ADLS storage account being used by the databricks workspace is public.

For ADLS storage accounts which are behind a private endpoint you will need to setup trusted access to get access to the data.

Wording/terminology: "setup" should be "set up" (verb), remove the extra double-space, and align "trusted access" with the established term "Trusted workspace access" used in the linked guidance. Also avoid the repeated phrase "get access to get access" for readability.

Spelling: "additonal" should be "additional".
