# 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 a 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.
