Amazon VPC endpoints for Amazon SWF
Note
Amazon PrivateLink support is currently available in the Amazon Top Secret - East, Amazon Secret Region, and China Regions only.
If you use Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) to host your Amazon resources, you can establish a connection between your Amazon VPC and Amazon Simple Workflow Service workflows. You can use this connection with your Amazon SWF workflows without crossing the public internet.
Amazon VPC lets you launch Amazon resources in a custom virtual network. You can use a VPC to control your network settings, such as the IP address range, subnets, route tables, and network gateways. For more information about VPCs, see the Amazon VPC User Guide.
To connect your Amazon VPC to Amazon SWF you must first define an interface VPC endpoint, which lets you connect your VPC to other Amazon Web Services. The endpoint provides reliable, scalable connectivity, without requiring an internet gateway, network address translation (NAT) instance, or VPN connection. For more information, see Interface VPC Endpoints (Amazon PrivateLink) in the Amazon VPC User Guide.
Creating the Endpoint
You can create an Amazon SWF endpoint in your VPC using the Amazon Web Services Management Console, the Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI), an Amazon SDK, the Amazon SWF API, or Amazon CloudFormation.
For information about creating and configuring an endpoint using the Amazon VPC console or the Amazon CLI, see Creating an Interface Endpoint in the Amazon VPC User Guide.
Note
When you create an endpoint, specify Amazon SWF as the service that you want your VPC to connect to. In the Amazon VPC console, service names vary based on the Amazon Region. For example, in the Amazon Top Secret - East Region, the service name for Amazon SWF is com.amazonaws.us-iso-east-1.swf.
For information about creating and configuring an endpoint using Amazon CloudFormation, see the AWS::EC2::VPCEndpoint resource in the Amazon CloudFormation User Guide.
Amazon VPC Endpoint Policies
To control connectivity access to Amazon SWF you can attach an Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) endpoint policy while creating an Amazon VPC endpoint. You can create complex IAM rules by attaching multiple endpoint policies. For more information, see:
