After you have [ordered your InterLink](/interlink/how-to/order-interlink), further action is required on both the customer side and the [partner](/interlink/concepts/#partner) side before the InterLink is provisioned and ready for active use. This page walks you through the steps to take and how to deal with potential problems that could arise.

InterLink is Scaleway's product to let you create a secure, private connection between your external infrastructure, and your Scaleway VPC. This allows you to direct your traffic safely from your Scaleway infrastructure to your on-premises infrastructure, away from the public internet.

Currently, InterLink is available in **hosted** version only. This means that you must choose a compatible [partner](/interlink/concepts/#partner) to facilitate the physical connection between the external infrastructure and the Scaleway VPC.

InterLink is available in two versions:

- Hosted: The physical connection is provided by a [partner](/interlink/concepts/#partner) and shared between several users

- Self-hosted: The physical connection is provisioned by and dedicated to a single customer

If you see a `Failed` status, it means there was a configuration error on the Scaleway side as we attempted to create the InterLink. Our technical team is automatically made aware of such a problem, and will intervene to resolve it. When the problem is resolved, the InterLink should automatically move to `Requested` status, and you can proceed to [completing provisioning](/interlink/how-to/complete-provisioning/). If you have any concerns, open a support ticket.
