Creating an interface VPC endpoint for Amazon Pinpoint

You can establish a private connection between your virtual private cloud (VPC) and an endpoint in Amazon Pinpoint by creating an interface VPC endpoint.

Interface endpoints are powered by AWS PrivateLink, a technology that allows you to privately access Amazon Pinpoint APIs without an internet gateway, NAT device, VPN connection, or AWS Direct Connect. Instances in your VPC don't need public IP addresses to communicate with the Amazon Pinpoint APIs that integrate with AWS PrivateLink.

For more information, see the AWS PrivateLink Guide.

Creating an interface VPC endpoints

You can create an interface endpoint using either the Amazon VPC console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). For more information, see Create an interface endpoint in the AWS PrivateLink Guide.

Amazon Pinpoint supports the following service names:

• com.amazonaws.region.pinpoint

• com.amazonaws.region.pinpoint-sms-voice-v2

If you turn on private DNS for an interface endpoint, you can make API requests to Amazon Pinpoint using the default DNS name for the AWS Region, for example, com.amazonaws.us-east-1.pinpoint. For more information, see DNS hostnames in the AWS PrivateLink Guide.

For a list of all the Regions and endpoints where Amazon Pinpoint is currently available, see AWS service endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

Creating a VPC endpoint policy

You can attach an endpoint policy to your VPC endpoint that controls access. 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 Control access to services using endpoint policies in the AWS PrivateLink Guide.

Example: VPC endpoint policy

The following VPC endpoint policy grants access to the listed Amazon Pinpoint actions for all principals on all resources.

{
"Statement": [
    {
      "Principal": "*",
      "Action": [
        "mobiletargeting:CreateCampaign",
        "mobiletargeting:CreateApp",
        "mobiletargeting:DeleteApp",
      ],
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}
