Why AWS PrivateLink?

Learn how PrivateLink makes it easier to connect services and resources across different AWS accounts and VPCs to simplify your network architecture.

How it works

AWS PrivateLink provides private connectivity between virtual private clouds (VPCs), supported services and resources, and your on-premises networks, without exposing your traffic to the public internet. Interface VPC endpoints, powered by PrivateLink, connect you to services hosted by AWS and AWS Partners and supported solutions available in AWS Marketplace. Gateway Load Balancer VPC endpoints connect you to appliances. Resource VPC endpoints powered by PrivateLink connect you to VPC resources such as Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) databases, and domain names and IP addresses in other VPCs and accounts. Service network VPC endpoints connect you to Amazon VPC Lattice service networks.
