Customers of Appian Cloud can use AWS PrivateLink to enable private communication between their Appian Cloud environments and AWS resources hosted on their private networks. PrivateLink can be used to integrate with your services such as business data sources or authentication systems through your own AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). PrivateLink can also be used to expose an Appian Cloud environment to your VPC.
This integration option is an alternative to VPN Tunnels for customers who have IT infrastructure running on AWS.
PrivateLink connectivity gives you several benefits, including, but not limited to:
This integration option allows an Appian Cloud environment to communicate with resources inside your managed VPC, where the operation is initiated by the Appian Cloud environment.
In this configuration, Appian Cloud acts as the service consumer and your VPC acts as the service provider. See Outbound Access over PrivateLink for more details.
This integration option allows resources within your VPC to communicate directly with an Appian Cloud environment.
