Currently we are only using the full SaaS agent. We have a on-prem sql server database which we want to replicate parts to Snowflake. Is it possible to install a Matillion Hybrid agent on an on-prem server within our network or can this only be done from a server on a cloud based (AWS or Azure) VPC? ---

Hi @DWGuy Thank you for your post. Currently, we don’t support on-prem installations of the agent. The agent requires native integration with the secrets vault service, and currently, this is only available for AWS and Azure. If the concern is the ability to access the on-prem database, it is possible to use [SSH tunnelling](https://docs.matillion.com/data-productivity-cloud/security/docs/ssh-tunnelling/) to securely access the database by setting up a bastion server. I hope this helps, if you have any other questions, please let me know. Kind regards, Joe ---

Hi @Joe-Community-Manager so I previously logged a Tech support case and the response was that it is possible? The case is 00105483. I’m a bit confused now. ---
