Sentinel datalake: private link/private endpoint
Has anyone already configured Sentinel Datalake with a private link/private endpoint setup? I can't find any instructions for this specific case. Can I use the wizard in the Defender XDR portal, ...

Hi munterweger
You can run Sentinel in a private-only network posture for data ingestion which can use private endpoint for Log Analytics Workspace or Data Collection Endpoints (DCE).
However Sentinel Data Lake itself is fully managed which means you cannot create a Private Endpoint directly to the Sentinel Data Lake. There is no Private Link configuration step in the Data Lake on-boarding wizard or any such guide.
Data access happens between services, thus data can be accessed either at Microsoft Defender XDR or Sentinel portal. You can integrate with Datalake workspace at sentinel XDR.
