# Integrate Microsoft Azure with Tiger Cloud

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

export const CLOUD_LONG = 'Tiger Cloud';

export const CONSOLE = 'Tiger Console';

export const VPC = 'VPC';

export const SERVICE_LONG = 'Tiger Cloud service';

[Microsoft Azure][azure] is a cloud computing platform and services suite, offering infrastructure, AI, analytics, security, and developer tools to help businesses build, deploy, and manage applications.

This page explains how to integrate your Microsoft Azure infrastructure with {CLOUD_LONG} on AWS 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].
* Establish connectivity between Azure and AWS.

  See the [AWS architectural documentation][azure-aws] for details.

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

## Connect your Microsoft Azure 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.
