DevOps Guru and interface VPC endpoints (AWS PrivateLink)

You can use VPC endpoints when you call Amazon DevOps Guru APIs. When you use VPC endpoints, your API calls are more secure because they are contained within your VPC and do not access the internet. For more information, see Actions in the Amazon DevOps Guru API Reference.

You establish a private connection between your VPC and DevOps Guru by creating an interface VPC endpoint. Interface endpoints are powered by AWS PrivateLink, a technology that enables you to privately access DevOps Guru APIs without an internet gateway, NAT device, VPN connection, or AWS Direct Connect connection. Instances in your VPC don't need public IP addresses to communicate with DevOps Guru APIs. Traffic between your VPC and DevOps Guru does not leave the Amazon network.

Each interface endpoint is represented by one or more Elastic Network Interfaces in your subnets.

For more information, see Interface VPC endpoints (AWS PrivateLink) in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

Considerations for DevOps Guru VPC endpoints

Before you set up an interface VPC endpoint for DevOps Guru, ensure that you review Interface endpoint properties and limitations in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

DevOps Guru supports making calls to all of its API actions from your VPC.

Creating an interface VPC endpoint for DevOps Guru

You can create a VPC endpoint for the DevOps Guru service using either the Amazon VPC console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). For more information, see Creating an interface endpoint in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

Create a VPC endpoint for DevOps Guru using the following service name:

• com.amazonaws.region.devops-guru

If you enable private DNS for the endpoint, you can make API requests to DevOps Guru using its default DNS name for the Region, for example, devops-guru.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.

For more information, see Accessing a service through an interface endpoint in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

Creating a VPC endpoint policy for DevOps Guru

You can attach an endpoint policy to your VPC endpoint that controls access to DevOps Guru. 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.

Example: VPC endpoint policy for DevOps Guru actions

The following is an example of an endpoint policy for DevOps Guru. When attached to an endpoint, this policy grants access to the listed DevOps Guru actions for all principals on all resources.

{
   "Statement":[
      {
         "Principal":"*",
         "Effect":"Allow",
         "Action":[
            "devops-guru:AddNotificationChannel",
            "devops-guru:ListInsights",
            "devops-guru:ListRecommendations"
         ],
         "Resource":"*"
      }
   ]
}
