What are AWS PrivateLink Connections?
AWS PrivateLink Connections provide a secure and private communication between the Virtual Private Clouds or on-premises networks. It also provides the secure private communication between AWS services of different regions or accounts. It uses Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) to establish private connections allowing the resources within the VPCs to access the AWS Services like Amazon S3, DynamoDB, or AWS Lambda as if they hosted within the same VPC.
AWS VPC Endpoint
Deploying your application in the AWS VPC which doesn’t have an internet connection by default, and the application is required to communicate with S3 service for reading the files and writing the files, in this scenario to make the application communicate with S3, we need a route for public internet using either NAT Gateway, Internet Gateway, or AWS Direct Connect. What if you don’t want to expose any requests being made inside this application to go through the internet?, here comes the concept of VPC Endpoints.
