AWS PrivateLink now supports cross-region connectivity for AWS Services

AWS PrivateLink Cross-Region Connectivity

AWS PrivateLink now supports native cross-region connectivity to AWS services. This launch enables customers to connect to select AWS services hosted in other Regions of the same AWS partition over Interface endpoints.

As a service consumer, you can access Amazon S3, Route53, Elastic Container Registry (ECR) and other services privately without the need to setup cross-region peering or exposing your data over the public internet. These services can be accessed through Interface endpoints at a private IP address in your VPC, enabling simpler and more secure inter-region connectivity.

This feature helps you build globally distributed private networks that comply with data residency requirements, while accessing supported AWS Services through PrivateLink.

What to do

• Review the AWS PrivateLink pricing page for details on costs.
• Check the documentation for a complete list of supported AWS services and Regions.
• Visit the launch blog for more information.
• Learn more in the Amazon VPC Developer Guide.
