VPC endpoints (AWS PrivateLink)

You can establish a private connection between your VPC and Amazon Timestream by creating an interface VPC endpoint. Interface endpoints are powered by AWS PrivateLink, a technology that enables you to privately access Timestream 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 Timestream APIs. Traffic between your VPC and Timestream does not leave the Amazon network.

Each interface endpoint is represented by one or more Elastic Network Interfaces in your subnets. For more information on Interface VPC endpoints, see Interface VPC endpoints (AWS PrivateLink) in the Amazon VPC User Guide.
