# Configure a VPC Peering Connection

> Setting up a VPC peering connection enables your application to interact with Couchbase Capella over a private connection by co-locating them through VPC or VNet peering. 

You can configure a VPC peering connection from Couchbase Capella clusters hosted with AWS, GCP, or Microsoft Azure to your application's VPC.

> [!CAUTION]
> Capella does not support VPC peering connections between different cloud providers. For example, you cannot set up VPC peering between a Capella cluster hosted in GCP with an application hosted on AWS.

Using a VPC peering connection provides an added layer of security for organizations by avoiding communication over the Internet. It also results in a significant reduction in latency and egress costs.

> [!TIP]
> Private Endpoints
> 
> Private endpoints connect a Capella cluster to a chosen resource or service. You can set up private endpoints with [AWS](../security/add-aws-private-link.md), [Azure](../security/add-azure-private-link.md), or [GCP](../security/add-gcp-private-link.md).
