# Enable Private Network Egress

<Note> This is feature is only available if you are on the **Team** tier or above. See [Astro Plans and Pricing](https://www.astronomer.io/pricing/).</Note>

<Note>
  **Preview**

  This feature is in [Preview](/docs/astro/feature-previews).
</Note>

<Info>Private Network Egress is currently only available on dedicated AWS clusters.</Info>

Astro supports Private Network Egress Mode for dedicated AWS clusters to ensure security and compliance, and to provide a data loss protection architecture to secure against unauthorized data transfer.

Enabling Private Network Egress Mode disables public internet connectivity from your Astro Deployments and makes [private networking connections](/docs/astro/networking-overview#network-connection-recommendations) required to connect to external data services and external endpoints for Metrics Export. With Private Network Egress enabled, exports to public observability platforms like Grafana Cloud will be impacted.

<Info>An icon on Deployments and Deployment details pages indicate when a Deployment is on a cluster with Private Network Egress enabled.</Info>

## Enable or disable Private Network Egress Mode for a cluster

Private Network Egress Mode can be enabled for new and existing dedicated AWS clusters.
