Amazon DynamoDB Streams APIs now support AWS PrivateLink

Posted on: Mar 26, 2025

Amazon DynamoDB Streams now comes with AWS PrivateLink support, allowing you to invoke DynamoDB Streams APIs from within your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) without traversing the public internet.

With AWS PrivateLink, you can simplify private network connectivity between virtual private clouds (VPCs), DynamoDB, and your on-premises data centers using interface VPC endpoints and private IP addresses. AWS PrivateLink is compatible with AWS Direct Connect and AWS Virtual Private Network (VPN) to facilitate private network connectivity, and helps you eliminate the need to use public IP addresses, configure firewall rules, or configure an internet gateway to access DynamoDB from your on-premises data centers. As a result, AWS PrivateLink helps you maintain compliance for your DynamoDB workloads over the private network.

AWS PrivateLink for Amazon DynamoDB is available in all AWS commercial Regions. You can get started with the feature by using the AWS Management Console, AWS API, AWS CLI, AWS SDK, or AWS CloudFormation. To learn more about using AWS PrivateLink, see the Amazon DynamoDB developer guide and Creating an Interface Endpoint. Please see AWS PrivateLink pricing for pricing details.
