Use AWS PrivateLink or Azure Private Link to connect to an instance from your
own AWS or Azure network without going over the public internet.
Use AWS PrivateLink for an instance on AWS, and Azure Private Link for an
instance on Azure.
Your instance’s public endpoint is unaffected.

To set up AWS PrivateLink or Azure Private Link, contact your InfluxData
representative.
