# Alibaba Cloud Configuration

If your public cloud provider is Alibaba Cloud, a few minutes after your connection is created, your Alibaba account will receive your connection information on the [**Express Connect console**](https://expressconnectnext.console.aliyun.com/?spm=a2c63.p38356.0.0.17d733eaPuLLga).
