# Private Networking for Amazon S3 Tables

This guide describes how to configure private network connections between StreamNative Cloud and Amazon S3 Tables. Private connectivity ensures that traffic between your StreamNative BYOC cluster and Amazon S3 Tables does not traverse the public internet.

Amazon S3 Tables is available only on AWS.

The following diagram shows the network path between your StreamNative BYOC cluster and Amazon S3 Tables over private connectivity.

## Prerequisites

* A StreamNative BYOC cluster deployed on AWS.
* A prepared Amazon S3 Tables catalog. See [Prepare Amazon S3 Tables (Iceberg)](/cloud/lakehouse/prepare-catalogs/s3table/iceberg).
* Storage private connectivity configured (if applicable). See [Private Networking for Catalog Integration](/cloud/lakehouse/catalogs/private-networking/overview) for storage connectivity details.

## Configure private connectivity

Amazon S3 Tables uses S3 endpoints for both data storage and catalog operations. On AWS, StreamNative configures private network connections to Amazon S3 endpoints by default in all StreamNative environments. The S3 VPC endpoint is configured per VPC.

**No additional action is required on your side.** All traffic between your StreamNative BYOC cluster and Amazon S3 Tables stays within the AWS private network automatically.
