CreateVpcEndpoint - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
Request ParametersResponse ElementsErrorsExamplesSee Also

CreateVpcEndpoint

Creates a VPC endpoint for a specified service. An endpoint enables you to create a private connection between your VPC and the service. The service may be provided by AWS, an AWS Marketplace Partner, or another AWS account. For more information, see VPC Endpoints in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

A gateway endpoint serves as a target for a route in your route table for traffic destined for the AWS service. You can specify an endpoint policy to attach to the endpoint, which will control access to the service from your VPC. You can also specify the VPC route tables that use the endpoint.

An interface endpoint is a network interface in your subnet that serves as an endpoint for communicating with the specified service. You can specify the subnets in which to create an endpoint, and the security groups to associate with the endpoint network interface.

A GatewayLoadBalancer endpoint is a network interface in your subnet that serves an endpoint for communicating with a Gateway Load Balancer that you've configured as a VPC endpoint service.

Use DescribeVpcEndpointServices to get a list of supported services.

Request Parameters

The following parameters are for this specific action. For more information about required and optional parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Query Parameters.

ClientToken

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

Type: String

Required: No

DryRun

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.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

PolicyDocument

(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.

Type: String

Required: No

PrivateDnsEnabled

(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

Type: Boolean

Required: No

RouteTableId.N

(Gateway endpoint) One or more route table IDs.

Type: Array of strings

Required: No

SecurityGroupId.N

(Interface endpoint) The ID of one or more security groups to associate with the endpoint network interface.

Type: Array of strings

Required: No

ServiceName

The service name. To get a list of available services, use the DescribeVpcEndpointServices request, or get the name from the service provider.

Type: String

Required: Yes

SubnetId.N

(Interface and Gateway Load Balancer endpoints) The ID of one or more subnets in which to create an endpoint network interface. For a Gateway Load Balancer endpoint, you can specify one subnet only.

Type: Array of strings

Required: No

TagSpecification.N

The tags to associate with the endpoint.

Type: Array of TagSpecification objects

Required: No

VpcEndpointType

The type of endpoint.

Default: Gateway

Type: String

Valid Values: Interface | Gateway | GatewayLoadBalancer

Required: No

VpcId

The ID of the VPC in which the endpoint will be used.

Type: String

Required: Yes

Response Elements

The following elements are returned by the service.

clientToken

Unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request.

Type: String

requestId

The ID of the request.

Type: String

vpcEndpoint

Information about the endpoint.

Type: VpcEndpoint object

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common client error codes.
