This topic uses private connectivity as a general term for AWS PrivateLink and Azure Private Link.
Dedicated Instances rely on cloud-provider private networking features and require baseline infrastructure components for a secure and successful deployment.
This page outlines the key requirements that Customers must meet, along with known limitations that can affect implementation decisions. Understanding these constraints early helps reduce onboarding delays and align security, platform, and engineering teams.

Requirements
AWS requirements:
- VPC with private subnets
- Network Load Balancer for connections into the Customer environment
- IAM permissions to create VPC endpoints, security groups, and Route 53 records
Azure requirements:
- Virtual network with subnets configured for private endpoints
- Private endpoint network policies disabled on target subnets
- Standard Load Balancer for connections into the Customer environment
DNS requirements
Private connectivity requires DNS configuration to route traffic through private endpoints:
- AWS: Route 53 Private Hosted Zone, and on-premises DNS forwarding if needed
- Azure: Azure Private DNS Zone linked to the Customer VNet
- Both: CNAME records that point to the private endpoint
Unstructured provides the DNS name in the format <company>.privatelink.unstructuredapp.io.
Known limitations
| Limitation | Notes |
|---|
| Cross-Region private connectivity | Supported but incurs additional data transfer costs. Not recommended. |
| Cross-CSP private connectivity | Not supported, for example AWS to Azure |
| VPC Peering | Not supported as an alternative to private connectivity |
