# Integrate Amazon Web Services with Tiger Cloud

> Connect your AWS infrastructure to Tiger Cloud using AWS Transit Gateway

export const CLOUD_LONG = 'Tiger Cloud';

export const VPC = 'VPC';

export const SERVICE_LONG = 'Tiger Cloud service';

[Amazon Web Services (AWS)][aws] is a comprehensive cloud computing platform that provides on-demand infrastructure, storage, databases, AI, analytics, and security services to help businesses build, deploy, and scale applications in the cloud.

This page explains how to integrate your AWS infrastructure with {CLOUD_LONG} using [AWS Transit Gateway][aws-transit-gateway].

## Prerequisites

To follow the steps on this page:

* Create a target [{SERVICE_LONG}][create-service] with Real-time analytics enabled.

  You need your [connection details][connection-info].

[connection-info]: /integrations/find-connection-details

[create-service]: /deploy-and-operate/tiger-cloud/get-started/create-services

* Set up [AWS Transit Gateway][gtw-setup].

<Info>
  This feature is currently not supported for {CLOUD_LONG} on Microsoft Azure.
</Info>

## Connect your AWS infrastructure to your services

To connect to {CLOUD_LONG}:

1. **Create a Peering {VPC} in [{CONSOLE}][console-login]**

   1. In `Security` > `VPC`, click `Create a VPC`:

      ![CLOUD\_LONG new VPC](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/add-peering-vpc-tiger-cloud.png)

   2. Choose your region and IP range, name your VPC, then click `Create VPC`:

      ![Create a new VPC in CLOUD\_LONG](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/configure-peering-vpc-tiger-cloud.png)

      Your {SERVICE_SHORT} and Peering {VPC} must be in the same AWS region. The number of Peering {VPC}s you can create in your project depends on your [pricing plan][pricing-plans]. If you need another Peering {VPC}, either contact [support@tigerdata.com](mailto:support@tigerdata.com) or change your plan in [{CONSOLE}][console-login].

   3. Add a peering connection:

      1. In the `VPC Peering` column, click `Add`.

      2. Provide your AWS account ID, Transit Gateway ID, CIDR ranges, and AWS region. {CLOUD_LONG} creates a new isolated connection for every unique Transit Gateway ID.

         ![Add peering](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/add-peering-tiger-cloud.png)

      3. Click `Add connection`.

2. **Accept and configure peering connection in your AWS account**

   Once your peering connection appears as `Processing`, you can accept and configure it in AWS:

   1. Accept the peering request coming from {CLOUD_LONG}. The request can take up to 5 min to arrive. Within 5 more minutes after accepting, the peering should appear as `Connected` in {CONSOLE}.

   2. Configure at least the following in your AWS account networking:

      * Your subnet route table to route traffic to your Transit Gateway for the Peering VPC CIDRs.
      * Your Transit Gateway route table to route traffic to the newly created Transit Gateway peering attachment for the Peering VPC CIDRs.
      * Security groups to allow outbound TCP 5432.

3. **Attach a {CLOUD_LONG} service to the Peering VPC In [{CONSOLE}][console-services]**

   1. Select the {SERVICE_SHORT} you want to connect to the Peering VPC.
   2. Click `Operations` > `Security` > `VPC`.
   3. Select the VPC, then click `Attach VPC`.

   You cannot attach a {SERVICE_LONG} to multiple {CLOUD_LONG} {VPC}s at the same time.
