ec2_create_vpc_endpoint: Creates a VPC endpoint for a specified service

Description

Creates a VPC endpoint for a specified service. An endpoint enables you to create a private connection between your VPC and the service. The service may be provided by AWS, an AWS Marketplace partner, or another AWS account. For more information, see VPC Endpoints in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

Usage

ec2_create_vpc_endpoint(DryRun, VpcEndpointType, VpcId, ServiceName,
  PolicyDocument, RouteTableIds, SubnetIds, SecurityGroupIds, ClientToken,
  PrivateDnsEnabled)

Arguments

DryRun

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.

VpcEndpointType

The type of endpoint.

Default: Gateway

VpcId

[required] The ID of the VPC in which the endpoint will be used.

ServiceName

[required] The service name. To get a list of available services, use the DescribeVpcEndpointServices request, or get the name from the service provider.

PolicyDocument

A policy to attach to the endpoint that controls access to the service. The policy must be in valid JSON format. If this parameter is not specified, we attach a default policy that allows full access to the service.

RouteTableIds

(Gateway endpoint) One or more route table IDs.

SubnetIds

(Interface endpoint) The ID of one or more subnets in which to create an endpoint network interface.

SecurityGroupIds

(Interface endpoint) The ID of one or more security groups to associate with the endpoint network interface.

ClientToken

Unique, case-sensitive identifier you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. For more information, see How to Ensure Idempotency.

PrivateDnsEnabled

(Interface endpoint) Indicate 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.

To use a private hosted zone, you must set the following VPC attributes to true: enableDnsHostnames and enableDnsSupport. Use ModifyVpcAttribute to set the VPC attributes.

Default: false

Details

A gateway endpoint serves as a target for a route in your route table for traffic destined for the AWS service. You can specify an endpoint policy to attach to the endpoint that will control access to the service from your VPC. You can also specify the VPC route tables that use the endpoint.

An interface endpoint is a network interface in your subnet that serves as an endpoint for communicating with the specified service. You can specify the subnets in which to create an endpoint, and the security groups to associate with the endpoint network interface.

Use DescribeVpcEndpointServices to get a list of supported services.
