hi I'm Rita a cloud support engineer
here at the air embolus office in
Northern Virginia sometimes customers
ask me about interface VPC endpoints and
how can they create them using the AWS
console I tell them the process is
straightforward but there are a few
things to keep in mind let me walk you
through the process an interface
endpoint allows you to privately connect
your V PC to supported services
currently the supported services include
certain aw services such as Amazon
Genesis ELB api's ec2 api's ec2 SSM and
ADA bless service catalog apart from
these a SS services interface endpoints
also support private connection to
endpoint services hosted by other AWS
accounts and edibles marketplace partner
services when you create an interface
VPC endpoint for a service in your V PC
an elastic network interface is created
in selected subnet with the private IP
address that serves as an entry point
for traffic destined to the service now
let's see how to create an interface
endpoint using AWS console as you can
see I'm already logged into my AWS
management console let's go to V PC
console
in the navigation pane choose endpoints
now choose create endpoint
now you can see the three different
options available under service category
choose a service category based on which
service you want to create the endpoint
for for now let's consider that you want
to create an endpoint for ec2 service
which is one of the a doubly supported
services and the service name choose the
service that is ending with ec2 this
represents the ec2 service in u.s. East
to region
note that the type column shows
interface which means that it's an
interface endpoint now select the V PC
in which you want to create the endpoint
now select the subnets
when you choose more than one subnet an
endpoint network interface is created in
each subnet that you specify now you can
see the option enable private DNS name
this is optional if you enable this
option you can make requests to the
service using its default DNS host name
instead of the endpoint specific DNS
host names to enable this option please
make sure that your V PC attributes
enable DNS host names and enable DNS
support are set to true
now choose the security group you want
to associate with the interface endpoint
the security group rules control the
traffic to the endpoint network
interface from resources in your V PC
now that we have chosen all the options
let's go ahead and create the endpoint
this might take a few minutes for the
status to change from pending to
available we can now see the interface
end point is created and available
choose the interface end point that we
just created and look at the details tab
this shows all the information regarding
your V PC interface end point under dns
names we see four different DNS host
names the first one represents the
default DNS host name of the ec2 service
in u.s. East to region the second DNS
name represents the regional VPC end
point DNS host name the last two names
represent the zonal DNS host name for
your EPC endpoints now I'm moving over
to the terminal let's see how to access
easy to service from your V PC using the
interface end point let's test this I
have logged into one of my instances in
the V PC in which I have created the
interface end point I'll run the easy to
describe V PC API call using the
endpoint URL which is the regional end
point DNS name for my V PC interface end
point see we got the output for the
described V PC call using our interface
endpoint that we just created this is
how you can use interface endpoints to
connect to services privately thanks for
watching and happy cloud computing from
all of us here at either
