# Snowflake PrivateLink

AWS PrivateLink is an AWS service for creating private VPC endpoints that allow direct, secure connectivity between your AWS VPCs and the Snowflake VPC without traversing the public Internet.

{% hint style="info" %}
For additional information refer to the Snowflake docs [here](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/admin-security-privatelink#enabling-aws-privatelink).
{% endhint %}

### Open a Snowflake Support Case

In Snowflake, you will firs need to open a Support Case to allow access from the Paradime AWS account. More info [here](https://community.snowflake.com/s/article/HowtosetupPrivatelinktoSnowflakefromCloudServiceVendors).

{% hint style="warning" %}
You will need to provide in your Support case the Paradime AWS account ID. Contact with the Paradime team at <support@paradime.io>.
{% endhint %}

To submit your Support request in Snowflake, you will need to have `ACCOUNTADMIN` to your Snowflake instance.

### Retrieve private link configuration <a href="#retrieve-private-link-configuration" id="retrieve-private-link-configuration"></a>

After completing the above step you will need to retrieve your Snowflake private link configuration and share these with the Paradime team to complete the setup.

Run the below command in Snowflake:

```sql
select SYSTEM$GET_PRIVATELINK_CONFIG();
```

This will return the below information that will need to be shared with the Paradime team to complete the Private Link setup.

```json
{
  "regionless-snowsight-privatelink-url": "<privatelink_org_snowsight_url>",
  "privatelink-account-name": "<account_identifier>",
  "snowsight-privatelink-url": "<privatelink_region_snowsight_url>",
  "privatelink-internal-stage": "<privatelink_stage_endpoint>",
  "privatelink-account-url": "<privatelink_account_url>",
  "privatelink-connection-urls": "<privatelink_connection_url_list>",
  "privatelink-ocsp-url": "<privatelink_ocsp_url>",
  "privatelink-vpce-id": "<aws_vpce_id>"
}
```

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/documentation/settings/connections/connection-security/aws-privatelink/snowflake-privatelink.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
