Amazon API Gateway Supports Endpoint Integrations with Private VPCs

Posted on: Nov 30, 2017

You can now provide access to HTTP(S) resources within your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) without exposing them directly to the public Internet. You can use API Gateway to create an API endpoint that is integrated with your VPC. You create an endpoint to your VPC by setting up a VPC link between your VPC and a Network Load Balancer (NLB), which is provided by Elastic Load Balancing. The NLB send requests to multiple destinations in your VPC such as Amazon EC2 instances, Auto Scaling groups, or Amazon ECS services. NLBs also support private connectivity over AWS Direct Connect, so that applications in your own data centers will be able to connect to your VPC via the Amazon private network.

To get started, create a VPC Link and configure a private VPC integration using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or SDKs and APIs. Visit our documentation to learn more.
