 ### Private connections and regions
 
-Private connectivity with AWS PrivateLink is supported only in AWS regions. Elastic does not yet support cross-region AWS PrivateLink connections. Your PrivateLink endpoint needs to be in the same region as your target deployments. Additional details can be found in the [AWS VPCE Documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/vpce-interface.html#vpce-interface-limitations).
+Private connectivity with AWS PrivateLink is supported only in AWS regions.
 
 AWS interface virtual private connection (VPC) endpoints are configured for one or more availability zones (AZ). In some regions, our VPC endpoint service is not present in all the possible AZs that a region offers. You can only choose AZs that are common on both sides. As the names of AZs (for example `us-east-1a`) differ between AWS accounts, the following list of AWS regions shows the ID (e.g. `use1-az4`) of each available AZ for the service.

 The mapping will be different for your region. Our production VPC Service for `us-east-1` is located in `use1-az2`, `use1-az4`, `use1-az6`. We need to create the VPC Endpoint for the preceding mapping in at least one of `us-east-1e`, `us-east-1a`, `us-east-1b`.

+## Setting up an cross-region PrivateLink connection [ec-aws-inter-region-private-link]
+
+AWS supports cross-region PrivateLink as described on the [AWS blog](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/networking-and-content-delivery/introducing-cross-region-connectivity-for-aws-privatelink/).
+
+This means your deployment on {{ecloud}} can be in a different region than the PrivateLink endpoints or the clients that consume the deployment endpoints.
+
+In this example, `region 1` contains your VPC endpoint. `region 2` is the region where your deployment is hosted.
+
+1. Begin to create your VPC endpoint in `region 1`, as described in [Create your VPC endpoint and DNS entries in AWS](#ec-aws-vpc-dns). In the service settings, do the following:
+
+    * In the **Service name** field, enter the [VPC service name](#ec-private-link-service-names-aliases) for `region 2`.
+    * Select **Enable Cross Region endpoint** and select `region 2` from the **Select a region** drop-down list.
+
+1. [Create a private connection policy](#create-private-connection-policy) in the region where your deployment is hosted (`region 2`), and [associate it](#associate-private-connection-policy) with your deployment.
+
+2. [Test the connection](#ec-access-the-deployment-over-private-link) from a VM or client in `region 1` to your Private Link endpoint, and it should be able to connect to your {{es}} cluster hosted in `region 2`.
+
 ## Manage private connection policies
 
 After you create your private connection policy, you can edit it, remove it from your deployment, or delete it.
