vpc_endpoint

Gets or updates an individual vpc_endpoint resource, use vpc_endpoints to retrieve a list of resources or to create or delete a resource.

Overview

Namevpc_endpoint
TypeResource
DescriptionSpecifies a VPC endpoint. A VPC endpoint provides a private connection between your VPC and an endpoint service. You can use an endpoint service provided by AWS, an MKT Partner, or another AWS accounts in your organization. For more information, see the [User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/).<br/> An endpoint of type Interface establishes connections between the subnets in your VPC and an AWS-service, your own service, or a service hosted by another AWS-account. With an interface VPC endpoint, you specify the subnets in which to create the endpoint and the security groups to associate with the endpoint network interfaces.<br/> An endpoint of type gateway serves as a target for a route in your route table for traffic destined for S3 or DDB. You can specify an endpoint policy for the endpoint, which controls access to the service from your VPC. You can also specify the VPC route tables that use the endpoint. For more information about connectivity to S3, see [W
Idaws.ec2.vpc_endpoint

Fields

NameDatatypeDescription
idstring
creation_timestampstring
dns_entriesarray
network_interface_idsarray
policy_documentobjectAn endpoint policy, which controls access to the service from the VPC. The default endpoint policy allows full access to the service. Endpoint policies are supported only for gateway and interface endpoints.<br/> For CloudFormation templates in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. CFNlong converts YAML policies to JSON format before calling the API to create or modify the VPC endpoint.
private_dns_enabledbooleanIndicate 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.<br/> To use a private hosted zone, you must set the following VPC attributes to true: enableDnsHostnames and enableDnsSupport.<br/> This property is supported only for interface endpoints.<br/> Default: false
route_table_idsarrayThe IDs of the route tables. Routing is supported only for gateway endpoints.
security_group_idsarrayThe IDs of the security groups to associate with the endpoint network interfaces. If this parameter is not specified, we use the default security group for the VPC. Security groups are supported only for interface endpoints.
service_namestringThe name of the endpoint service.
subnet_idsarrayThe IDs of the subnets in which to create endpoint network interfaces. You must specify this property for an interface endpoint or a Gateway Load Balancer endpoint. You can't specify this property for a gateway endpoint. For a Gateway Load Balancer endpoint, you can specify only one subnet.
vpc_endpoint_typestringThe type of endpoint.<br/> Default: Gateway
vpc_idstringThe ID of the VPC.
regionstringAWS region.
