Using Interface VPC Endpoints for Amazon DataZone
If you use Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) to host your AWS resources, you can establish a connection between your Amazon VPC and Amazon DataZone. You can use this connection with Amazon DataZone without crossing the public internet.
Amazon VPC lets you launch AWS resources in a custom virtual network. You can use a VPC to control your network settings, such as the IP address range, subnets, route tables, and network gateways. For more information about VPCs, see the Amazon VPC User Guide.
To connect your Amazon VPC to Amazon DataZone, you must first define an interface VPC endpoint, which lets you connect your VPC to other AWS services. The endpoint provides reliable, scalable connectivity, without requiring an internet gateway, network address translation (NAT) instance, or VPN connection. For more information and detailed steps on how to create a VPC endpoint, see Interface VPC Endpoints (AWS PrivateLink) in the Amazon VPC User Guide.
Important
In VPC, an endpoint policy is a resource-based policy that you can attach to a VPC endpoint to control which AWS principals can use the endpoint to access an AWS service.
In the current release of Amazon DataZone, the use of endpoint policies is not supported for establishing and using connections between your Amazon VPC and Amazon DataZone. Amazon DataZone access management relies on RAM configuration and IAM principal policies that are defined at the service level.
