TECH SPOTLIGHT: VPC Endpoints
Amazon VPC Endpoints are virtual devices that enable you to connect your Amazon VPC to supported AWS services, services hosted by other AWS customers, and services hosted by AWS partners without traffic leaving the Amazon network. Some of the supported AWS services include Amazon Aurora, AWS CodeBuild, and AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Amazon VPC endpoints provide two clear benefits,
- Reduce costs related to data transfer by reducing how much of your traffic travels across the public Internet in order to reach AWS services.
- Improve security posture by using IAM policies to provide even more control over how data flows between your VPC and AWS services. You can read a great post written by Nigel Harris here.
