Access VPC Lattice using an interface endpoint (PrivateLink)

You can establish a private connection between your VPC and Amazon VPC Lattice by creating an interface VPC endpoint. Interface endpoints are powered by AWS PrivateLink, a technology that enables you to privately access VPC Lattice 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 VPC Lattice APIs.

Each interface endpoint is represented by one or more network interfaces in your subnets.

Considerations for interface VPC endpoints

Before you set up an interface VPC endpoint for VPC Lattice, ensure that you review Access an AWS service using an interface VPC endpoint in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

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

Creating an interface VPC endpoint for VPC Lattice

You can create a VPC endpoint for the VPC Lattice 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 VPC Lattice using the following service name:
