Migration Hub Strategy Recommendations and interface VPC endpoints (AWS PrivateLink)

You can establish a private connection between your VPC and Migration Hub Strategy Recommendations by creating an interface VPC endpoint. Interface endpoints are powered by AWS PrivateLink. With AWS PrivateLink, you can privately access Strategy Recommendations API operations without an internet gateway, NAT device, VPN connection, or AWS Direct Connect connection. Instances in your VPC don't need public IP addresses to communicate with Strategy Recommendations API operations. Traffic between your VPC and Strategy Recommendations stays within the Amazon network.

Each interface endpoint is represented by one or more Elastic Network Interfaces in your subnets.

For more information, see Interface VPC endpoints (AWS PrivateLink) in the Amazon VPC User Guide.
