IP address for accessing external SFTP server

I am trying to pull in data to my Databricks workspace via an external SFTP server. I am using Azure for my compute. To access the SFTP server they need to whitelist my IP address. My IP address in Azure Databricks seems to be constantly changing from day to day.

What is the solution to get around this issue?

Azure Databricks, like many cloud services, does not provide static IP addresses for outbound connections. This is because the compute resources are dynamically allocated and can change over time.

One potential workaround could be to use a Virtual Network (VNet) with a Network Address Translation (NAT) gateway. The NAT gateway can provide a stable outbound IP address. However, this would require additional setup and configuration in Azure, and may have additional costs.
