Create a private connection between a VPC and EBS direct APIs
You can establish a private connection between your VPC and EBS direct APIs by creating an
interface VPC endpoint, powered by Amazon PrivateLink
We create an endpoint network interface in each subnet that you enable for the interface endpoint.
For more information, see Access Amazon Web Services services through Amazon PrivateLink in the Amazon PrivateLink Guide.
Considerations for EBS direct APIs VPC endpoints
Before you set up an interface VPC endpoint for EBS direct APIs, review Considerations in the Amazon PrivateLink Guide.
By default, full access to EBS direct APIs is allowed through the endpoint. You can control access to the interface endpoint using VPC endpoint policies. You can attach an endpoint policy to your VPC endpoint that controls access to EBS direct APIs. The policy specifies the following information:
-
The principal that can perform actions.
-
The actions that can be performed.
-
The resources on which actions can be performed.
For more information, see Controlling access to services with VPC endpoints in the Amazon VPC User Guide.
The following is an example of an endpoint policy for EBS direct APIs. When attached to an
endpoint, this policy grants access to all EBS direct APIs actions on all resources, except snapshots
that are tagged with key Environment
and value Test
.
{ "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Deny", "Action": "ebs:*", "Principal": "*", "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "aws:ResourceTag/Environment": "Test" } } }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "ebs:*", "Principal": "*", "Resource": "*" } ] }
Create an interface VPC endpoint for EBS direct APIs
You can create a VPC endpoint for EBS direct APIs using either the Amazon VPC console or the Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI). For more information, see Create a VPC endpoint in the Amazon PrivateLink Guide.
Create a VPC endpoint for EBS direct APIs using the following service name:
-
com.amazonaws.
region
.ebs
If you enable private DNS for the endpoint, you can make API requests to EBS direct APIs using
its default DNS name for the Region, for example, ebs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
.
