# Set up Private Connect for AWS

Private Connect for AWS (Amazon Web Services) allows cloud administrators to create secure, private, and dedicated connections between Tableau Cloud and AWS-hosted data providers. These private connections are provisioned on top of AWS PrivateLink, using private IP address space, meaning that data traffic doesn't traverse the public internet. The private and secure nature of private connections addresses a key requirement of restricting data traffic to private networks.

As a cloud administrator, you can create private connections and assign them to sites. They can also provide connection information to creators and the groups that support them.
