Amazon WorkSpaces Personal now supports unique DNS names for PrivateLink

Amazon WorkSpaces Personal DNS Enhancements

Amazon WorkSpaces Personal now provides unique, publicly resolvable DNS names for each AWS PrivateLink VPC endpoint, enabling enterprise customers to deploy WorkSpaces across multiple VPCs and accounts without DNS resolution conflicts. Each interface VPC endpoint receives a globally unique AWS-managed DNS name in addition to the previous generic DNS name.

This enhancement enables customers to route traffic appropriately in multi-account environments with centralized DNS infrastructure. Customers can now deploy WorkSpaces Personal directories across different VPCs and AWS accounts while maintaining proper security isolation, eliminating the DNS name collision that previously prevented customers from using separate interface VPC endpoints across accounts.

The publicly resolvable DNS names simplify configuration while maintaining security, as they resolve to private IP addresses accessible only from within the respective VPC. The unique DNS names are automatically managed by AWS throughout their lifecycle, requiring no additional Route 53 configuration or custom DNS management.

What to do

• Deploy WorkSpaces Personal directories across different VPCs and AWS accounts.
• Route traffic appropriately in multi-account environments with centralized DNS infrastructure.
• Maintain proper security isolation and eliminate DNS name collisions.

This feature is available in all AWS regions where PrivateLink is available in Amazon WorkSpaces Personal.
