description: Connect your Azure infrastructure to Tiger Cloud on Azure using Azure Private Link
---

[Microsoft Azure](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/) is a cloud computing platform and services suite, offering infrastructure, AI, analytics, security, and developer tools to help businesses build, deploy, and manage applications.

This page explains how to integrate your Microsoft Azure infrastructure with Tiger Cloud on Azure using [Azure Private Link](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/private-link/private-link-overview).

Note

This feature is currently not supported for Tiger Cloud on AWS.

## Prerequisites

To follow the steps on this page:

- Create a target [Tiger Cloud service](/get-started/quickstart/create-service/index.md) with the Real-time analytics capability.

* Create an [Azure account](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/pricing/purchase-options/azure-account) with an active subscription.
* Configure [permissions](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/private-link/rbac-permissions) to create private endpoints.
* Create an [Azure Virtual Network](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/quickstart-create-virtual-network?tabs=portal) with a subnet for the resources you will connect to Tiger Cloud.

## Set up a private endpoint connection

Note

Private endpoint connections in Tiger Cloud are currently in private preview. To request access in Tiger Console, go to `Security` > `Private Endpoints` and click `Request access`. Then refresh the page and follow the steps below.

Take the following steps to connect your Tiger Cloud service to a Private Link endpoint.

1. **Create an Azure subscription authorization**

   1. In [Tiger Console](https://console.cloud.tigerdata.com/dashboard/azure-privatelink), select `Security` > `Private Endpoints` > `Configure Private Endpoint Connection`.

      ![Azure Private Link authorization](/_astro/configure-private-link-authorization.BVll5xeW_1yTnGY.webp)

   2. In `Cloud provider`, select `Azure`.

   3. In `Principal ID`, enter your [Azure subscription ID](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-portal/get-subscription-tenant-id#find-your-azure-subscription). Give your authorization a name, for convenience.

      Warning

      Click the checkmark next to `Connection name` to save your authorization. Otherwise, your input is discarded.

   4. Under `Alias`, copy the alias for the region in which you need to create the connection. Choose the region closest to your Azure resources for optimal performance.

   5. Click `Done`. Tiger Cloud confirms your authorization. Once it is confirmed, you can connect multiple endpoints from the same authorized subscription.

2. **Create a private endpoint in Azure**

   1. In [Azure Portal](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/get-started/azure-portal), go to `Private endpoints` and click `Create`.

   2. In `Subscription`, select the subscription you have previously authorized in Tiger Cloud.

   3. In `Resource group`, select an existing resource group or create a new one for your private endpoint.

   4. Provide a name for your endpoint.

   5. Select the region where your Virtual Network is deployed, then click `Next: Resource`.

   6. In `Connection method`, select `Connect to an Azure resource by resource ID or alias`.

   7. In `Resource ID or alias`, paste the alias you have copied from Tiger Console.

   8. In `Request message`, enter your [Tiger Cloud project ID](/integrate/find-connection-details/index.md), then click `Next: Virtual Network`.

   9. Select the Virtual Network that contains the resources you want to connect to Tiger Cloud, then choose the subnet where the endpoint’s private IP will be created. Optionally select an application security group, then click `Next: DNS`.

   10. Optionally configure private DNS integration and tags for your endpoint, then click `Next: Review + create`.

   11. Review your config and click `Create`. Azure creates your private endpoint. Wait for the deployment to succeed.

   12. Go to `Private endpoints` and copy the private endpoint IP from the `Private IP` column.

3. **Sync the connection**

   1. In [Tiger Console](https://console.cloud.tigerdata.com/dashboard/azure-privatelink) > `Security` > `Private Endpoints`, click `Refresh`. Tiger Cloud automatically approves connections from authorized subscriptions. Your connection appears in the list.

   2. Under `IP Address` click `Add IP` and paste the private endpoint IP address you have copied from Azure Portal.

   3. Under `Services` click `Attach service`. Select your service from the dropdown and click `Attach`. You can attach a service to one private endpoint.

   4. From a VM inside your Azure VNet, connect to your service using a connection string with your [connection details](/integrate/find-connection-details/index.md). You should be able to connect successfully.

## Manage connections

- To detach a service from a private endpoint connection, go to `Security` > `Private Endpoints`, expand the arrow in the `Services` column, and click the trash icon next to the service connection string.
- To edit or remove an endpoint connection, go to `Security` > `Private Endpoints` and click the three dots next to the connection in the list. Select `Edit` or `Disconnect`, respectively. You need to detach all services from a private endpoint connection before deleting it.
- To remove an authorization, click `Manage Authorizations` > trash bin icon. You need to disconnect all relevant endpoint connections before removing an authorization.
