Amazon's walkthrough shows administrators how to connect on-premises data sources to Amazon Quick privately, so traffic never crosses the public internet. It suits enterprises whose data sits behind a corporate firewall or in a private data center, where routing queries over the public internet adds risk and complicates audit trails. Amazon says regulatory frameworks such as HIPAA, FedRAMP and PCI-DSS often require sensitive data to stay inside controlled network boundaries. The guide assumes AWS Direct Connect or a Site-to-Site VPN already links the on-premises environment to a VPC, then has readers configure VPC endpoints powered by AWS PrivateLink so Quick reaches private resources over the AWS backbone. Two mechanisms divide the work: VPC endpoints carry user and API access, while VPC connections, set up in the Quick console, carry data-fetching traffic from databases and internal APIs. VPC connections require an Amazon Quick Enterprise subscription, the guide says, and Quick website VPC endpoints are unavailable in the AWS China Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Amazon also notes that knowledge base VPC connections currently support only Amazon Redshift, while sources such as Confluence, SharePoint and Amazon S3 cannot use one today.
