AWS AppConfig now supports AWS PrivateLink, which allows customers to leverage feature flags and dynamic configuration from their Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) without traversing the public internet.
AWS AppConfig helps software builders quickly and securely adjust application behavior in production without full code deployments. AWS AppConfig can speed up software release frequency, improve application resiliency, and help address emergent operational issues more quickly. With AWS AppConfig Feature Flags, builders can employ trunk-based development to more safely release new capabilities on production. AWS AppConfig allows customers to release new features and capabilities gradually, but instantly roll them back if there are any problems. AWS AppConfig provides other safety guardrails to make sure your feature flag and dynamic configuration updates release in a controlled and measured way.
AWS PrivateLink provides private connectivity between Amazon VPCs, AWS services, and your on-premises networks, without exposing network traffic to the public internet. With AWS PrivateLink support you can call AWS AppConfig’s control plane and data plane, and traffic remains within the AWS network. This simplifies your network architecture by removing the need to deploy an internet gateway, configure firewall rules, or set up proxy servers in your VPC.
AWS AppConfig support for AWS PrivateLink is now available in all Regions where AWS PrivateLink is supported. To get started on AWS AppConfig, visit our Developer Guide. You can also review the AWS PrivateLink Documentation.
