Set up private network connectivity to Grafana Cloud — AWS PrivateLink, Azure Private Link, GCP Private Service Connect, and Private Data Source Connect (PDC). Provisions VPC endpoints, private endpoints, or PSC forwarding rules per signal type (metrics / logs / traces / profiles); wires Alloy to push to the private DNS endpoint instead of the public one; verifies private DNS resolution + endpoint approval state. Use when sending telemetry to Grafana Cloud without traversing the public internet, eliminating cloud egress costs, meeting PCI-DSS / HIPAA / data-residency compliance, configuring PDC for private data-source queries, or connecting AWS / Azure / GCP workloads to Grafana — even when the user says "stop paying egress", "keep our telemetry off the public internet", or "PCI compliance for Grafana" without naming PrivateLink.

# Grafana Cloud Private Connectivity
> **Docs**: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/send-data/
Send metrics, logs, traces, and profiles to Grafana Cloud entirely over your cloud provider's private backbone — no public internet exposure, no egress fees.
## Common Workflows
### Setting up AWS PrivateLink (most common)
1. **Find your service names.** Grafana Cloud → Stack Details → "Send using AWS PrivateLink". Note one service name per signal type (metrics / logs / traces / profiles).
2. **Create an Interface VPC Endpoint per signal type:**
