Use interface VPC endpoints (AWS PrivateLink) to create a private connection between your VPC and Amazon Bedrock

You can use AWS PrivateLink to create a private connection between your VPC and Amazon Bedrock. You can access Amazon Bedrock as if it were in your VPC, without the use of an internet gateway, NAT device, VPN connection, or AWS Direct Connect connection. Instances in your VPC don't need public IP addresses to access Amazon Bedrock.

You establish this private connection by creating an interface endpoint, powered by AWS PrivateLink. We create an endpoint network interface in each subnet that you enable for the interface endpoint. These are requester-managed network interfaces that serve as the entry point for traffic destined for Amazon Bedrock.

For more information, see Access AWS services through AWS PrivateLink in the AWS PrivateLink Guide.

Considerations for Amazon Bedrock VPC endpoints

Before you set up an interface endpoint for Amazon Bedrock, review Considerations in the AWS PrivateLink Guide.

Amazon Bedrock supports making the following API calls through VPC endpoints.

Availability Zones

Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Bedrock Agents endpoints are available in multiple Availability Zones.

Create an interface endpoint for Amazon Bedrock

You can create an interface endpoint for Amazon Bedrock using either the Amazon VPC console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). For more information, see Create an interface endpoint in the AWS PrivateLink Guide.

Create an interface endpoint for Amazon Bedrock using any of the following service names:

After you create the endpoint, you have the option to enable a private DNS hostname. Enable this setting by selecting Enable Private DNS Name in the VPC console when you create the VPC endpoint.

If you enable private DNS for the interface endpoint, you can make API requests to Amazon Bedrock using its default Regional DNS name. The following examples show the format of the default Regional DNS names.

Create an endpoint policy for your interface endpoint

An endpoint policy is an IAM resource that you can attach to an interface endpoint. The default endpoint policy allows full access to Amazon Bedrock through the interface endpoint. To control the access allowed to Amazon Bedrock from your VPC, attach a custom endpoint policy to the interface endpoint.

For more information, see Control access to services using endpoint policies in the AWS PrivateLink Guide.

Example: VPC endpoint policy for Amazon Bedrock actions

The following is an example of a custom endpoint policy. When you attach this resource-based policy to your interface endpoint, it grants access to the listed Amazon Bedrock actions for all principals on all resources.

   "Version": "2012-10-17",
   "Statement": [
      {
         "Principal": "*",
         "Effect": "Allow",
         "Action": [
            "bedrock:InvokeModel",
            "bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream"
         ],
         "Resource":"*"
      }
   ]
}
