 ## InterLink
 
 InterLink, currently in Private Beta, 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.

+
+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](/network/interlink/concepts/#partner) to facilitate the physical connection between the external infrastructure and the Scaleway VPC.
+
+<Lightbox src="scaleway-interlink-diag-simple.webp" alt="A diagram shows how a Scaleway VPC, to the left, can be attached to an InterLink, which then connects to external customer infrastructure." />

+
+## How to order an InterLink
+
+1. Click **InterLink** in the **Network** section of the [Scaleway console](https://console.scaleway.com) side menu. If you have not already created an InterLink, the product ordering page is displayed.
+
+2. Click **Order InterLink**. The order wizard displays.
+
+3. Select a [connection type](/network/interlink/concepts/#connection-type), the type of physical InterLink connection. For now, only **hosted** connections are available.
+
+4. Select a [partner](/network/interlink/concepts/#partner). To establish an InterLink connection via a partner, generally you must be client of that partner, e.g. with your infrastructure in their datacenter, or on your own premises using the partner as a network provider. [Get help with choosing a partner](/network/interlink/reference-content/overview/#hosted-interlinks).
+
+5. Choose a [region](/network/interlink/concepts/#partner) for your InterLink. This must correspond to the Scaleway VPC you want to attach later.
+
+6. Choose a [location](/network/interlink/concepts/#partner) for your InterLink. This represents the physical location where the connection to Scaleway's network will be established.
+
+7. Choose a [bandwidth](/network/interlink/concepts/#bandwidth) amount. This represents the maximum bandwidth that will be available over the InterLink.
+
+8. Enter a name and optional tags for your InterLink.
+
+9. Check the estimated cost for your InterLink. Note that Scaleway will start billing you for the InterLInk as soon as you order it. You must then wait for your partner to provision the connection, who may charge you additional fees.
+
+10. Click **Order InterLink**.
+
+Your InterLink is ordered. **You must now contact your chosen partner to request they provision your InterLink from their end.**
+
+For full details of the provisioning process, including how to contact your partner and what other steps you need to take, see the page [How to complete InterLink provisioning](/network/interlink/how-to/complete-provisioning/).

 By choosing a hosted InterLink, you can re-use existing connectivity between a PoP where both you and the partner are present, and the Scaleway network. Layer 2 isolation to your Scaleway VPC is preserved, with guaranteed bandwidth (100Mbps - 25Gbps) across the InterLink.

 The diagram below shows the architecture of a hosted InterLink. Note that three possibilities are available on the customer side:
 - The partner's router connects to the customer's router (itself connected to the customer's on-premises infrastructure) via a **M**eet **M**e **R**oom at a PoP where both networks are present.
 - The partner's router connects directly to the customer's on-premises infrastructure via a last-mile connection facilitated by the partner.
