Microsoft Azure Private Link Onboarding Guide for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services

Overview

Overview

If you use a Microsoft Azure private virtual network (VNet), you can configure a private connection between your Azure account and
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
using Azure Private Link.
To use Azure Private Link, you must purchase the appropriate SKU through Informatica. Azure Private Link communication works with Intelligent Data Management Cloud instances that are deployed on Microsoft Azure infrastructure
As of the November 2024 release, you can use Azure Private Link with the following services:
  • API Manager
  • Application Integration
  • B2B Gateway
  • Cloud Data Integration for PowerCenter (CDI-PC)
  • Data Governance and Catalog
  • Data Integration
    , excluding
    Data Integration
    Elastic
  • Data Marketplace
  • Data Profiling
  • Data Quality
  • Integration Hub
  • Data Ingestion and Replication
  • Metadata Command Center
When you use Azure Private Link, the Secure Agent in your VNet communicates with
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
securely through Azure Private Link instead of going over the public internet.
The following image shows an overview of the communication between your Azure account and
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
when you use Azure Private Link:
For all services except
Application Integration
, communication between
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
and the Secure Agent in your VNet is two-way. For
Application Integration
, communication is from
Application Integration
to the Secure Agent only. For more information about using
Application Integration
with Azure Private Link, see Using Application Integration with Azure Private Link.

  6. Launch a virtual machine (VM) where the Secure Agent will be installed.
  7. Install a Secure Agent on the VM.
