Explain the features of AWS PrivateLink

In this recipe, we will learn about AWS PrivateLink. We will also learn about the features of AWS PrivateLink.

Recipe Objective - Explain the features of AWS PrivateLink?

The AWS PrivateLink is a widely used service and is defined as a link that provides private communication between VPCs, AWS services, and users on-premises networks. AWS PrivateLink makes it simple to connect services across accounts and VPCs, simplifying your network design dramatically. Interface VPC endpoints, powered by AWS PrivateLink, link you to access AWS Partners' services and AWS Marketplace-supported solutions. AWS PrivateLink provides the same degree of security and performance to their virtual network appliances or custom traffic inspection logic by powering Gateway Load Balancer endpoints. AWS PrivateLink allows users to use private IP addresses in their VPC to connect to some AWS services, services hosted by other AWS accounts (referred to as endpoint services) and supported AWS Marketplace partner services. AWS PrivateLink is also defined as a scalable and highly available solution that allows users to connect their VPC to services privately as if they were in your VPC. To allow communication with the service from their private subnets, users don't need to use an internet gateway, NAT device, public IP address, AWS Direct Connect connection, or AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection. As a result, users have complete control over which API endpoints, websites, and services their VPC may access.

Benefits of Amazon PrivateLink

  • With AWS PrivateLink, users can securely and scalable connect their VPCs to AWS services. Because AWS PrivateLink traffic does not pass over the public internet, it is less vulnerable to brute force and distributed denial-of-service assaults, among other dangers. users can utilise private IP connectivity to make the services appear as if they were hosted on their private network. Users may also associate security groups with interface endpoints and attach an endpoint policy to them, allowing users to govern who has access to a specific service. The same security, scalability, and performance are delivered via AWS connections supported by PrivateLink, such as interface VPC endpoints and Gateway Load Balancer endpoints and thus provide security to the network. There are no firewall rules, path definitions, or route tables required to connect services across different accounts and Amazon VPCs. There's no need to set up an Internet gateway, establish a VPC peering connection, or administer VPC Classless Inter-Domain Routing in your VPC (CIDRs). It's easier to manage the global network with AWS PrivateLink since it simplifies the network design and thus simplifies the network management. There are no firewall rules, path definitions, or route tables required to connect services across different accounts and Amazon VPCs. There's no need to set up an Internet gateway, establish a VPC peering connection, or administer VPC Classless Inter-Domain Routing in your VPC (CIDRs). It's easier to manage the global network with AWS PrivateLink since it simplifies the network design and thus helps in accelerating the cloud migration.

System Requirements

  • Any Operating System(Mac, Windows, Linux)

This recipe explains AWS PrivateLink and its features of AWS PrivateLink.

Features of AWS PrivateLink

    • It provides accessible services

Create an interface VPC endpoint for a service that is not within user VPC to use AWS PrivateLink. This generates an elastic network interface with a private IP address in their subnet, which acts as an entry point for traffic destined for the service.

    • It allows users to share your services with others.

Users can build their own AWS PrivateLink-powered service (endpoint service) and make it available to other AWS users.

    • It connects to the on-premises apps in a secure manner

Interface VPC endpoints provide AWS Direct Connect private connectivity, allowing applications on your premises to connect to these services using the Amazon private network.

    • It provides integration with AWS Marketplace

Interface VPC endpoints provide AWS Direct Connect private connectivity, allowing applications on your premises to connect to these services using the Amazon private network.
