create-vpc-endpoint

Description

Creates a VPC endpoint. A VPC endpoint provides a private connection between the specified VPC and the specified endpoint service. You can use an endpoint service provided by Amazon Web Services, an Amazon Web Services Marketplace Partner, or another Amazon Web Services account. For more information, see the Amazon Web Services PrivateLink User Guide .

Options

--dry-run | --no-dry-run (boolean)

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .

--vpc-endpoint-type (string)

The type of endpoint.

Default: Gateway

Possible values:

  • Interface
  • Gateway
  • GatewayLoadBalancer

--vpc-id (string)

The ID of the VPC.

--service-name (string)

The name of the endpoint service.

--policy-document (string)

(Interface and gateway endpoints) A policy to attach to the endpoint that controls access to the service. The policy must be in valid JSON format. If this parameter is not specified, we attach a default policy that allows full access to the service.

--route-table-ids (list)

(Gateway endpoint) The route table IDs.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--subnet-ids (list)

(Interface and Gateway Load Balancer endpoints) The IDs of the subnets in which to create endpoint network interfaces. For a Gateway Load Balancer endpoint, you can specify only one subnet.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--security-group-ids (list)

(Interface endpoint) The IDs of the security groups to associate with the endpoint network interfaces. If this parameter is not specified, we use the default security group for the VPC.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--ip-address-type (string)

The IP address type for the endpoint.

Possible values:

  • ipv4
  • dualstack
  • ipv6

--dns-options (structure)

The DNS options for the endpoint.

DnsRecordIpType -> (string)

The DNS records created for the endpoint.

PrivateDnsOnlyForInboundResolverEndpoint -> (boolean)

Indicates whether to enable private DNS only for inbound endpoints. This option is available only for services that support both gateway and interface endpoints. It routes traffic that originates from the VPC to the gateway endpoint and traffic that originates from on-premises to the interface endpoint.

Shorthand Syntax:

DnsRecordIpType=string,PrivateDnsOnlyForInboundResolverEndpoint=boolean

JSON Syntax:

{
  "DnsRecordIpType": "ipv4"|"dualstack"|"ipv6"|"service-defined",
  "PrivateDnsOnlyForInboundResolverEndpoint": true|false
}

--client-token (string)

Unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. For more information, see How to ensure idempotency .

--private-dns-enabled | --no-private-dns-enabled (boolean)

(Interface endpoint) Indicates whether to associate a private hosted zone with the specified VPC. The private hosted zone contains a record set for the default public DNS name for the service for the Region (for example, kinesis.us-east-1.amazonaws.com ), which resolves to the private IP addresses of the endpoint network interfaces in the VPC. This enables you to make requests to the default public DNS name for the service instead of the public DNS names that are automatically generated by the VPC endpoint service.

To use a private hosted zone, you must set the following VPC attributes to true : enableDnsHostnames and enableDnsSupport . Use ModifyVpcAttribute to set the VPC attributes.

Default: true

--tag-specifications (list)

The tags to associate with the endpoint.

(structure)

The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created. When you specify a tag, you must specify the resource type to tag, otherwise the request will fail.

Note

The Valid Values lists all the resource types that can be tagged. However, the action you're using might not support tagging all of these resource types. If you try to tag a resource type that is unsupported for the action you're using, you'll get an error.

ResourceType -> (string)

The type of resource to tag on creation.

Tags -> (list)

The tags to apply to the resource.

(structure)

Describes a tag.

Key -> (string)

The key of the tag.

Constraints: Tag keys are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 127 Unicode characters. May not begin with aws: .

Value -> (string)

The value of the tag.

Constraints: Tag values are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 256 Unicode characters.

(structure)

Describes the configuration of a subnet for a VPC endpoint.

SubnetId -> (string)

The ID of the subnet.

Ipv4 -> (string)

The IPv4 address to assign to the endpoint network interface in the subnet. You must provide an IPv4 address if the VPC endpoint supports IPv4.

If you specify an IPv4 address when modifying a VPC endpoint, we replace the existing endpoint network interface with a new endpoint network interface with this IP address. This process temporarily disconnects the subnet and the VPC endpoint.

Ipv6 -> (string)

The IPv6 address to assign to the endpoint network interface in the subnet. You must provide an IPv6 address if the VPC endpoint supports IPv6.

If you specify an IPv6 address when modifying a VPC endpoint, we replace the existing endpoint network interface with a new endpoint network interface with this IP address. This process temporarily disconnects the subnet and the VPC endpoint.

Shorthand Syntax:

SubnetId=string,Ipv4=string,Ipv6=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "SubnetId": "string",
    "Ipv4": "string",
    "Ipv6": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Example 1: To create a gateway endpoint

The following create-vpc-endpoint example creates a gateway VPC endpoint between VPC vpc-1a2b3c4d and Amazon S3 in the us-east-1 region, and associates route table rtb-11aa22bb with the endpoint.

aws ec2 create-vpc-endpoint \
    --vpc-id vpc-1a2b3c4d \
    --service-name com.amazonaws.us-east-1.s3 \
    --route-table-ids rtb-11aa22bb

Output:

    "VpcEndpoint": {
        "PolicyDocument": "{\"Version\":\"2008-10-17\",\"Statement\":[{\"Sid\":\"\",\"Effect\":\"Allow\",\"Principal\":\"\*\",\"Action\":\"\*\",\"Resource\":\"\*\"}]}",

Example 2: To create an interface endpoint

The following create-vpc-endpoint example creates an interface VPC endpoint between VPC vpc-1a2b3c4d and Amazon S3 in the us-east-1 region. The command creates the endpoint in subnet subnet-1a2b3c4d, associates it with security group sg-1a2b3c4d, and adds a tag with a key of "Service" and a Value of "S3".

aws ec2 create-vpc-endpoint \
    --vpc-id vpc-1a2b3c4d \
    --vpc-endpoint-type Interface \
    --service-name com.amazonaws.us-east-1.s3 \
