# Azure Private Link for Azure Synapse Dedicated SQL Pools

{% hint style="info" %}
**Public preview**: This feature is available to all accounts that request to enable it for their tenant. Contact your Immuta representative to enable it.
{% endhint %}

[Azure Private Link](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/private-link/private-link-overview) provides private connectivity from the Immuta SaaS platform, hosted on AWS, to Azure Synapse workspaces. It ensures that all traffic to the configured endpoints only traverses private networks over the Immuta private cloud exchange.

This uses the `Sql` Private Link connection to allow users to connect to the Azure Synapse dedicated SQL pools over an Azure Private Endpoint. For details about Azure Private Link for Azure Synapse and the network flow in a typical implementation, see the [Azure Synapse documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/).

Support for Azure Private Link is available in [all Synapse-supported Azure regions](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/explore/global-infrastructure/products-by-region).

## Requirements

Ensure that your accounts meet the following requirements:

* You have an Immuta SaaS tenant.
* You have an Azure Synapse workspace with a dedicated SQL pool.

## Configure Synapse workspace with Azure Private Link

1. Contact your Immuta representative and provide the following information for each Azure Synapse workspace you want to connect to:
   * Azure region
   * Azure Synapse workspace SQL [hostname](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/sql/connect-overview#find-your-server-name)
   * Azure Synapse workspace resource ID or alias (can be found in the console by going to the `Synapse workspace -> Settings -> Properties` and getting the `Resource ID`)
2. Your representative will inform you when the two Azure Private Link connections have been made available. Accept them in your [Azure Synapse workspace configuration](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/security/how-to-connect-to-workspace-with-private-links#step-2-open-your-azure-synapse-workspace-in-azure-portal).
3. Configure the [Azure Synapse](/saas/configuration/integrations/data-and-integrations/registering-metadata/register-data-sources/synapse-tutorial.md) data source using your standard `sql.azuresynapse.net` URL for the dedicated SQL pool.
