How to connect QlikSense (at QlikCloud) to an AWS Aurora PostgreSql database in a private subnet

[eicki]

Hi,

how can I connect QlikSense (within QlikCloud) to an AWS Aurora PostgreSql instance as a source if that database is a private subnet in its VPC?

I know how to connect if it is in the public subnet and thus externally accessible, but what are the options QlikCloud can provide me to access a database in a private subnet?

AWS recommends either VPC Peering, Transit Gateway or AWS Site-to-Site VPN, what approach does Qlik recommend?

The Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access is probably what you are looking for.  It runs in any private network and creates an outbound tunnel to Qlik Cloud.  See https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Gateways/direct-access-g...

Ok sounds promising. Is the PostgreSql via Direct Access Gateway connector then compatible with Aurora PostgreSql?
