How to use interface VPC endpoints to meet your security objectives
- Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) endpoints allow establishing private connectivity to supported AWS services using private IP addresses.
- VPC endpoints help achieve four security objectives: implementing networks isolated from the internet, implementing a data perimeter by using VPC endpoint policies, enabling private connectivity to AWS service API endpoints for on-premises environments, and complying with specific compliance requirements.
- Customers can implement a data perimeter by using VPC endpoint policies, allowing access to only trusted entities and resources from a particular network.
- VPC endpoints enables customers to enhance their security posture by establishing private connectivity to supported AWS, enterprise, and third-party services.
- Interface VPC endpoints allow connecting VPC to AWS services in the same region without a NAT instance or Internet Gateway.
- Customers can use interface VPC endpoints to connect AWS services privately, including more than 130 AWS services that are available over AWS PrivateLink.
- Interface VPC endpoints can help in aligning with specific compliance requirements such as GDPR, PCI DSS, and HIPAA.
- VPC Endpoints allow customers to reduce the internet-facing endpoints mitigating risk exposure by reducing the service connectivity surface area.
- Customers can use interface VPC endpoints to enforce a data perimeter, such as only allowing certain accesses of S3 buckets by EC2 instances.
- Customers can use interface VPC endpoints to enable private connectivity to AWS only from their on-premises environments, enforcing data perimeter rules.
