# Connect to private databases with Azure PrivateLink

> Set up Azure Private Link to connect Omni to databases in private Azure networks using encrypted private endpoint connections.

If your database is in a private network within Microsoft Azure, Omni can connect to your database via Azure Private Link. In this configuration, Omni establishes an encrypted connection from our network to your network via a private endpoint connection.

<Warning>
  This guide does not apply to **Snowflake** databases in Azure. Follow the [dedicated Snowflake PrivateLink guide](/connect-data/snowflake-privatelink) for Snowflake instructions.
</Warning>

## Requirements

To follow the steps in this guide, you'll need permissions in Azure that allow you to create PrivateLink services.

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Set up a PrivateLink service in your Azure account" titleSize="h3">
    In your Azure account, set up a PrivateLink service that connects to your database.

    If you choose to restrict access by subscription, Omni's subscription ID is:

    ```
    081a7a2c-5971-4342-ac5e-bf9e4d8235b0
    ```

    Additionally, **verify that traffic from the PrivateLink service to your database is allowed**. As PrivateLink traffic is internal to the network, Omni's public IP addresses don't apply.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Contact Omni support" titleSize="h3">
    After you finish setting up the PrivateLink service, contact Omni support with the following information:

    * The alias of your PrivateLink service, for example `pls-name.xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.region.azure.privatelinkservice`
    * The port your database will be listening on
    * Technical contact details, in case of connection difficulties
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What's next?

After you contact Omni support with the information in step 2, we'll create a private endpoint connection that connects to your service to support the connection to the database.

If your service requires manual approval of new endpoint connections, we will contact you to request approval.

Once this is complete, Omni support will add the new database connection to your Omni instance. The connection can then be used like any other database connection.
