# AWS PrivateLink Overview in StreamNative Cloud

[AWS PrivateLink](https://aws.amazon.com/privatelink/) provides a one-way secure connection between **your VPC** (VPC running your applications) and the **StreamNative Managed VPC** (VPC running StreamNative Cloud clusters) in StreamNative Cloud, with added protection against data exfiltration. This networking option is popular for its unique combination of security and simplicity.

## Inbound PrivateLink

Inbound PrivateLink is used for your applications running in your VPC to securely connect to StreamNative Cloud clusters in a **StreamNative Managed VPC** via a private network.

Currently, StreamNative Cloud supports inbound PrivateLink for **BYOC Clusters** and **BYOC Pro Clusters**.

See [AWS Inbound PrivateLink for BYOC Clusters](/cloud/networking/networking-on-aws/aws-privatelink/aws-inbound-privatelink-byoc) for details.

## Outbound PrivateLink

Outbound PrivateLink is typically required by functions and connectors to access external data sources, sinks, and other services that are not in the same VPC as the StreamNative Managed VPC.

However, StreamNative Cloud doesn't support **outbound PrivateLink** from StreamNative Managed VPC to your Application VPC at this time. This feature will be supported in the future.
