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.
22+
InterLink is available in two versions:
23+
24+
- Hosted: The physical connection is provided by a [partner](/interlink/concepts/#partner) and shared between several users
25+
- 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.
