This topic uses private connectivity as a general term for AWS PrivateLink and Azure Private Link.
Dedicated Instances rely on cloud-provider private networking features and require baseline infrastructure components for a secure and successful deployment.

Prerequisites
AWS requirements:
- VPC with private subnets
- Network Load Balancer for connections into the Customer environment
- IAM permissions to create VPC endpoints, security groups, and Route 53 records
Azure requirements:
- Virtual network with subnets configured for private endpoints
- Private endpoint network policies disabled on target subnets
- Standard Load Balancer for connections into the Customer environment
DNS requirements
Private connectivity requires DNS configuration to route traffic through private endpoints:
- AWS: Route 53 Private Hosted Zone, and on-premises DNS forwarding if needed
- Azure: Azure Private DNS Zone linked to the Customer VNet
- Both: CNAME records that point to the private endpoint
Unstructured provides the DNS name in the format <company>.privatelink.unstructuredapp.io.
Known limitations
| Limitation | Notes |
|---|
| Cross-Region private connectivity | Supported but incurs additional data transfer costs. Not recommended. |
| Cross-CSP private connectivity | Not supported, for example AWS to Azure |
| VPC Peering | Not supported as an alternative to private connectivity |
