Why each option
To restrict access to an Azure storage account to specific networks and your home office, the initial step involves configuring the storage account's network access settings.
While a private endpoint provides secure access, it primarily integrates the storage account into a private network and doesn't directly address allowing access from specific public IPs or selected virtual networks as the *first* step for general restricted access.
To control access to a storage account from specific virtual networks and IP addresses (like a home office), you must modify the "Public network access" settings to allow access from "Selected networks." This enables the configuration of network rules for virtual networks and IP ranges, directly addressing the requirement to allow access from selected networks and a home office.
Internet routing is a network performance optimization feature for routing traffic to Azure storage and does not control access based on source network or IP address.
Modifying Access Control (IAM) settings governs who can manage the storage account or what actions they can perform, but it does not control network-level access to the data within the storage account.
