# Security in Amazon Personalize
<a name="security"></a>

Cloud security at AWS is the highest priority. As an AWS customer, you benefit from a data center and network architecture that is built to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations.

Security is a shared responsibility between AWS and you. The [shared responsibility model](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/shared-responsibility-model/) describes this as security *of* the cloud and security *in* the cloud:
+ **Security of the cloud** – AWS is responsible for protecting the infrastructure that runs AWS services in the AWS Cloud. AWS also provides you with services that you can use securely. Amazon Personalize uses data encryption to protect your data. For more information, see [Data encryption in Amazon Personalize](data-encryption.md). Third-party auditors regularly test and verify the effectiveness of our security as part of the [AWS Compliance Programs](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/programs/). To learn about the compliance programs that apply to Amazon Personalize, see [AWS Services in Scope by Compliance Program](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/services-in-scope/).
+ **Security in the cloud** – Your responsibility is determined by the AWS service that you use. You are also responsible for other factors including the sensitivity of your data, your company’s requirements, and applicable laws and regulations. 

This documentation helps you understand how to apply the shared responsibility model when using Amazon Personalize. The following topics show you how to configure Amazon Personalize to meet your security and compliance objectives. You also learn how to use other AWS services that help you to monitor and secure your Amazon Personalize resources.

# Data protection in Amazon Personalize
<a name="data-protection"></a>

The AWS [shared responsibility model](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/shared-responsibility-model/) applies to data protection in Amazon Personalize. As described in this model, AWS is responsible for protecting the global infrastructure that runs all of the AWS Cloud. You are responsible for maintaining control over your content that is hosted on this infrastructure. You are also responsible for the security configuration and management tasks for the AWS services that you use. For more information about data privacy, see the [Data Privacy FAQ](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/data-privacy-faq/). For information about data protection in Europe, see the [AWS Shared Responsibility Model and GDPR](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/the-aws-shared-responsibility-model-and-gdpr/) blog post on the *AWS Security Blog*.

For data protection purposes, we recommend that you protect AWS account credentials and set up individual users with AWS IAM Identity Center or AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). That way, each user is given only the permissions necessary to fulfill their job duties. We also recommend that you secure your data in the following ways:
+ Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) with each account.
+ Use SSL/TLS to communicate with AWS resources. We require TLS 1.2 and recommend TLS 1.3.
+ Set up API and user activity logging with AWS CloudTrail. For information about using CloudTrail trails to capture AWS activities, see [Working with CloudTrail trails](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-trails.html) in the *AWS CloudTrail User Guide*.
+ Use AWS encryption solutions, along with all default security controls within AWS services.
+ Use advanced managed security services such as Amazon Macie, which assists in discovering and securing sensitive data that is stored in Amazon S3.
+ If you require FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules when accessing AWS through a command line interface or an API, use a FIPS endpoint. For more information about the available FIPS endpoints, see [Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/fips/).

We strongly recommend that you never put confidential or sensitive information, such as your customers' email addresses, into tags or free-form text fields such as a **Name** field. This includes when you work with Amazon Personalize or other AWS services using the console, API, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. Any data that you enter into tags or free-form text fields used for names may be used for billing or diagnostic logs. If you provide a URL to an external server, we strongly recommend that you do not include credentials information in the URL to validate your request to that server.

# Data encryption in Amazon Personalize
<a name="data-encryption"></a>

The following information explains where Amazon Personalize uses data encryption to protect your data.

## Encryption at rest
<a name="data-protection-at-rest"></a>

Any data stored within Amazon Personalize is always encrypted at rest with Amazon Personalize managed AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys. If you provide your own AWS KMS key during resource creation, Amazon Personalize uses the key to encrypt your data and store it. For example, if you provide a AWS KMS ARN in the [CreateDatasetGroup](API_CreateDatasetGroup.md) operation, Amazon Personalize uses the key to encrypt and store data you import into any datasets that you create in that dataset group. 

You must grant Amazon Personalize and your Amazon Personalize IAM service role permission to use your key. For more information, see [Giving Amazon Personalize permission to use your AWS KMS key](granting-personalize-key-access.md).

For information about data encryption in Amazon S3 see [Protecting data using encryption](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/UsingEncryption.html) in the *Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide*. For information about managing your own AWS KMS key, see [Managing keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/overview.html) in the *AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide*. 

## Encryption in transit
<a name="data-protection-in-transit"></a>

 Amazon Personalize uses TLS with AWS certificates to encrypt any data sent to other AWS services. Any communication with other AWS services happens over HTTPS, and Amazon Personalize endpoints support only secure connections over HTTPS. 

 Amazon Personalize copies data out of your account and processes it in an internal AWS system. When processing data, Amazon Personalize encrypts data with either a Amazon Personalize AWS KMS key or any AWS KMS key you provide.

## Key management
<a name="data-protection-keys"></a>

AWS manages any default AWS KMS keys. It is your responsibility to manage any AWS KMS keys that you own. You must grant Amazon Personalize and your Amazon Personalize IAM service role permission to use your key. For more information, see [Giving Amazon Personalize permission to use your AWS KMS key](granting-personalize-key-access.md).

For information about managing your own AWS KMS key, see [Managing keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/overview.html) in the *AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide*. 

# Identity and Access Management for Amazon Personalize
<a name="security-iam"></a>





AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an AWS service that helps an administrator securely control access to AWS resources. IAM administrators control who can be *authenticated* (signed in) and *authorized* (have permissions) to use Amazon Personalize resources. IAM is an AWS service that you can use with no additional charge.

**Topics**

+ [Authenticating with identities](#security_iam_authentication)
+ [Managing access using policies](#security_iam_access-manage)
+ [How Amazon Personalize works with IAM](security_iam_service-with-iam.md)
+ [Cross-service confused deputy prevention](cross-service-confused-deputy-prevention.md)
+ [Identity-based policy examples for Amazon Personalize](security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md)
+ [Troubleshooting Amazon Personalize identity and access](security_iam_troubleshoot.md)

## Audience
<a name="security_iam_audience"></a>

How you use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) differs based on your role:
+ **Service user** - request permissions from your administrator if you cannot access features (see [Troubleshooting Amazon Personalize identity and access](security_iam_troubleshoot.md))
+ **Service administrator** - determine user access and submit permission requests (see [How Amazon Personalize works with IAM](security_iam_service-with-iam.md))
+ **IAM administrator** - write policies to manage access (see [Identity-based policy examples for Amazon Personalize](security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md))

## Authenticating with identities
<a name="security_iam_authentication"></a>

Authentication is how you sign in to AWS using your identity credentials. You must be authenticated as the AWS account root user, an IAM user, or by assuming an IAM role.

You can sign in as a federated identity using credentials from an identity source like AWS IAM Identity Center (IAM Identity Center), single sign-on authentication, or Google/Facebook credentials. For more information about signing in, see [How to sign in to your AWS account](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/signin/latest/userguide/how-to-sign-in.html) in the *AWS Sign-In User Guide*.

For programmatic access, AWS provides an SDK and CLI to cryptographically sign requests. For more information, see [AWS Signature Version 4 for API requests](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_sigv.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

### AWS account root user
<a name="security_iam_authentication-rootuser"></a>

 When you create an AWS account, you begin with one sign-in identity called the AWS account *root user* that has complete access to all AWS services and resources. We strongly recommend that you don't use the root user for everyday tasks. For tasks that require root user credentials, see [Tasks that require root user credentials](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_root-user.html#root-user-tasks) in the *IAM User Guide*. 

### Federated identity
<a name="security_iam_authentication-federated"></a>

As a best practice, require human users to use federation with an identity provider to access AWS services using temporary credentials.

A *federated identity* is a user from your enterprise directory, web identity provider, or Directory Service that accesses AWS services using credentials from an identity source. Federated identities assume roles that provide temporary credentials.

For centralized access management, we recommend AWS IAM Identity Center. For more information, see [What is IAM Identity Center?](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/userguide/what-is.html) in the *AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide*.

### IAM users and groups
<a name="security_iam_authentication-iamuser"></a>

An *[IAM user](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users.html)* is an identity with specific permissions for a single person or application. We recommend using temporary credentials instead of IAM users with long-term credentials. For more information, see [Require human users to use federation with an identity provider to access AWS using temporary credentials](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html#bp-users-federation-idp) in the *IAM User Guide*.

An [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_groups.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_groups.html) specifies a collection of IAM users and makes permissions easier to manage for large sets of users. For more information, see [Use cases for IAM users](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/gs-identities-iam-users.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

### IAM roles
<a name="security_iam_authentication-iamrole"></a>

An *[IAM role](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles.html)* is an identity with specific permissions that provides temporary credentials. You can assume a role by [switching from a user to an IAM role (console)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use_switch-role-console.html) or by calling an AWS CLI or AWS API operation. For more information, see [Methods to assume a role](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_manage-assume.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

IAM roles are useful for federated user access, temporary IAM user permissions, cross-account access, cross-service access, and applications running on Amazon EC2. For more information, see [Cross account resource access in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies-cross-account-resource-access.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

## Managing access using policies
<a name="security_iam_access-manage"></a>

You control access in AWS by creating policies and attaching them to AWS identities or resources. A policy defines permissions when associated with an identity or resource. AWS evaluates these policies when a principal makes a request. Most policies are stored in AWS as JSON documents. For more information about JSON policy documents, see [Overview of JSON policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html#access_policies-json) in the *IAM User Guide*.

Using policies, administrators specify who has access to what by defining which **principal** can perform **actions** on what **resources**, and under what **conditions**.

By default, users and roles have no permissions. An IAM administrator creates IAM policies and adds them to roles, which users can then assume. IAM policies define permissions regardless of the method used to perform the operation.

### Identity-based policies
<a name="security_iam_access-manage-id-based-policies"></a>

Identity-based policies are JSON permissions policy documents that you attach to an identity (user, group, or role). These policies control what actions identities can perform, on which resources, and under what conditions. To learn how to create an identity-based policy, see [Define custom IAM permissions with customer managed policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_create.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

Identity-based policies can be *inline policies* (embedded directly into a single identity) or *managed policies* (standalone policies attached to multiple identities). To learn how to choose between managed and inline policies, see [Choose between managed policies and inline policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies-choosing-managed-or-inline.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

### Resource-based policies
<a name="security_iam_access-manage-resource-based-policies"></a>

Resource-based policies are JSON policy documents that you attach to a resource. Examples include IAM *role trust policies* and Amazon S3 *bucket policies*. In services that support resource-based policies, service administrators can use them to control access to a specific resource. You must [specify a principal](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements_principal.html) in a resource-based policy.

Resource-based policies are inline policies that are located in that service. You can't use AWS managed policies from IAM in a resource-based policy.

### Other policy types
<a name="security_iam_access-manage-other-policies"></a>

AWS supports additional policy types that can set the maximum permissions granted by more common policy types:
+ **Permissions boundaries** – Set the maximum permissions that an identity-based policy can grant to an IAM entity. For more information, see [Permissions boundaries for IAM entities](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_boundaries.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.
+ **Service control policies (SCPs)** – Specify the maximum permissions for an organization or organizational unit in AWS Organizations. For more information, see [Service control policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_manage_policies_scps.html) in the *AWS Organizations User Guide*.
+ **Resource control policies (RCPs)** – Set the maximum available permissions for resources in your accounts. For more information, see [Resource control policies (RCPs)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_manage_policies_rcps.html) in the *AWS Organizations User Guide*.
+ **Session policies** – Advanced policies passed as a parameter when creating a temporary session for a role or federated user. For more information, see [Session policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html#policies_session) in the *IAM User Guide*.

### Multiple policy types
<a name="security_iam_access-manage-multiple-policies"></a>

When multiple types of policies apply to a request, the resulting permissions are more complicated to understand. To learn how AWS determines whether to allow a request when multiple policy types are involved, see [Policy evaluation logic](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_evaluation-logic.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

To get a high-level view of how Amazon Personalize and other AWS services work with most IAM features, see [AWS services that work with IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-services-that-work-with-iam.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

## Identity-based policies for Amazon Personalize
<a name="security_iam_service-with-iam-id-based-policies"></a>

**Supports identity-based policies:** Yes

Identity-based policies are JSON permissions policy documents that you can attach to an identity, such as an IAM user, group of users, or role. These policies control what actions users and roles can perform, on which resources, and under what conditions. To learn how to create an identity-based policy, see [Define custom IAM permissions with customer managed policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_create.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

With IAM identity-based policies, you can specify allowed or denied actions and resources as well as the conditions under which actions are allowed or denied. To learn about all of the elements that you can use in a JSON policy, see [IAM JSON policy elements reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

### Identity-based policy examples for Amazon Personalize
<a name="security_iam_service-with-iam-id-based-policies-examples"></a>



To view examples of Amazon Personalize identity-based policies, see [Identity-based policy examples for Amazon Personalize](security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md).

## Resource-based policies within Amazon Personalize
<a name="security_iam_service-with-iam-resource-based-policies"></a>

**Supports resource-based policies:** No 

Resource-based policies are JSON policy documents that you attach to a resource. Examples of resource-based policies are IAM *role trust policies* and Amazon S3 *bucket policies*. In services that support resource-based policies, service administrators can use them to control access to a specific resource. For the resource where the policy is attached, the policy defines what actions a specified principal can perform on that resource and under what conditions. You must [specify a principal](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements_principal.html) in a resource-based policy. Principals can include accounts, users, roles, federated users, or AWS services.

To enable cross-account access, you can specify an entire account or IAM entities in another account as the principal in a resource-based policy. For more information, see [Cross account resource access in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies-cross-account-resource-access.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

## Policy actions for Amazon Personalize
<a name="security_iam_service-with-iam-id-based-policies-actions"></a>

**Supports policy actions:** Yes

Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which **principal** can perform **actions** on what **resources**, and under what **conditions**.

The `Action` element of a JSON policy describes the actions that you can use to allow or deny access in a policy. Include actions in a policy to grant permissions to perform the associated operation.



To see a list of Amazon Personalize actions, see [Actions defined by Amazon Personalize](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_amazonpersonalize.html#amazonpersonalize-actions-as-permissions) in the *Service Authorization Reference*.

Policy actions in Amazon Personalize use the following prefix before the action:

```
personalize
```

To specify multiple actions in a single statement, separate them with commas.

```
"Action": [
      "personalize:action1",
      "personalize:action2"
         ]
```





You can specify multiple actions using wildcards (\$1). For example, to specify all actions that begin with the word `Describe`, include the following action:

```
"Action": "personalize:Describe*"
```

To view examples of Amazon Personalize identity-based policies, see [Identity-based policy examples for Amazon Personalize](security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md).

## Policy resources for Amazon Personalize
<a name="security_iam_service-with-iam-id-based-policies-resources"></a>

**Supports policy resources:** Yes

Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which **principal** can perform **actions** on what **resources**, and under what **conditions**.

The `Resource` JSON policy element specifies the object or objects to which the action applies. As a best practice, specify a resource using its [Amazon Resource Name (ARN)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference-arns.html). For actions that don't support resource-level permissions, use a wildcard (\$1) to indicate that the statement applies to all resources.

```
"Resource": "*"
```

To see a list of Amazon Personalize resource types and their ARNs, see [Resources defined by Amazon Personalize](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_amazonpersonalize.html#amazonpersonalize-resources-for-iam-policies) in the *Service Authorization Reference*. To learn with which actions you can specify the ARN of each resource, see [Actions defined by Amazon Personalize](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_amazonpersonalize.html#amazonpersonalize-actions-as-permissions).





To view examples of Amazon Personalize identity-based policies, see [Identity-based policy examples for Amazon Personalize](security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md).

## Policy condition keys for Amazon Personalize
<a name="security_iam_service-with-iam-id-based-policies-conditionkeys"></a>

**Supports service-specific policy condition keys:** Yes

Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which **principal** can perform **actions** on what **resources**, and under what **conditions**.

The `Condition` element specifies when statements execute based on defined criteria. You can create conditional expressions that use [condition operators](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements_condition_operators.html), such as equals or less than, to match the condition in the policy with values in the request. To see all AWS global condition keys, see [AWS global condition context keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_condition-keys.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

To see a list of Amazon Personalize condition keys, see [Condition keys for Amazon Personalize](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_amazonpersonalize.html#amazonpersonalize-policy-keys) in the *Service Authorization Reference*. To learn with which actions and resources you can use a condition key, see [Actions defined by Amazon Personalize](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_amazonpersonalize.html#amazonpersonalize-actions-as-permissions).

To view examples of Amazon Personalize identity-based policies, see [Identity-based policy examples for Amazon Personalize](security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md).

## ACLs in Amazon Personalize
<a name="security_iam_service-with-iam-acls"></a>

**Supports ACLs:** No 

Access control lists (ACLs) control which principals (account members, users, or roles) have permissions to access a resource. ACLs are similar to resource-based policies, although they do not use the JSON policy document format.

## ABAC with Amazon Personalize
<a name="security_iam_service-with-iam-tags"></a>

**Supports ABAC (tags in policies):** Yes

Attribute-based access control (ABAC) is an authorization strategy that defines permissions based on attributes called tags. You can attach tags to IAM entities and AWS resources, then design ABAC policies to allow operations when the principal's tag matches the tag on the resource.

To control access based on tags, you provide tag information in the [condition element](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements_condition.html) of a policy using the `aws:ResourceTag/key-name`, `aws:RequestTag/key-name`, or `aws:TagKeys` condition keys.

If a service supports all three condition keys for every resource type, then the value is **Yes** for the service. If a service supports all three condition keys for only some resource types, then the value is **Partial**.

For more information about ABAC, see [Define permissions with ABAC authorization](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/introduction_attribute-based-access-control.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. To view a tutorial with steps for setting up ABAC, see [Use attribute-based access control (ABAC)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/tutorial_attribute-based-access-control.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

For more information about tagging Amazon Personalize resources, see [Tagging Amazon Personalize resources](tagging-resources.md).

To view an example identity-based policy for limiting access to a resource based on the tags on that resource, see [Using tags in IAM policies](tags-iam.md).

## Using temporary credentials with Amazon Personalize
<a name="security_iam_service-with-iam-roles-tempcreds"></a>

**Supports temporary credentials:** Yes

Temporary credentials provide short-term access to AWS resources and are automatically created when you use federation or switch roles. AWS recommends that you dynamically generate temporary credentials instead of using long-term access keys. For more information, see [Temporary security credentials in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp.html) and [AWS services that work with IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-services-that-work-with-iam.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

## Cross-service principal permissions for Amazon Personalize
<a name="security_iam_service-with-iam-principal-permissions"></a>

**Supports forward access sessions (FAS):** Yes

 Forward access sessions (FAS) use the permissions of the principal calling an AWS service, combined with the requesting AWS service to make requests to downstream services. For policy details when making FAS requests, see [Forward access sessions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_forward_access_sessions.html). 

## Service roles for Amazon Personalize
<a name="security_iam_service-with-iam-roles-service"></a>

**Supports service roles:** Yes

 A service role is an [IAM role](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles.html) that a service assumes to perform actions on your behalf. An IAM administrator can create, modify, and delete a service role from within IAM. For more information, see [Create a role to delegate permissions to an AWS service](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_create_for-service.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. 

**Warning**  
Changing the permissions for a service role might break Amazon Personalize functionality. Edit service roles only when Amazon Personalize provides guidance to do so.

## Service-linked roles for Amazon Personalize
<a name="security_iam_service-with-iam-roles-service-linked"></a>

**Supports service-linked roles:** No 

 A service-linked role is a type of service role that is linked to an AWS service. The service can assume the role to perform an action on your behalf. Service-linked roles appear in your AWS account and are owned by the service. An IAM administrator can view, but not edit the permissions for service-linked roles. 

For details about creating or managing service-linked roles, see [AWS services that work with IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-services-that-work-with-iam.html). Find a service in the table that includes a `Yes` in the **Service-linked role** column. Choose the **Yes** link to view the service-linked role documentation for that service.

 The confused deputy problem is a security issue where an entity that doesn't have permission to perform an action can coerce a more-privileged entity to perform the action. In AWS, cross-service impersonation can result in the confused deputy problem. Cross-service impersonation can occur when one service (the *calling service*) calls another service (the *called service*). The calling service can be manipulated to use its permissions to act on another customer's resources in a way it should not otherwise have permission to access. To prevent this, AWS provides tools that help you protect your data for all services with service principals that have been given access to resources in your account. 

 We recommend using the [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_condition-keys.html#condition-keys-sourcearn](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_condition-keys.html#condition-keys-sourcearn) and [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_condition-keys.html#condition-keys-sourceaccount](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_condition-keys.html#condition-keys-sourceaccount) global condition context keys in resource policies to limit the permissions that Amazon Personalize gives another service to the resource. 

To prevent the confused deputy problem in roles assumed by Amazon Personalize, in the role's trust policy set the value of `aws:SourceArn` to `arn:aws:personalize:region:accountNumber:*`. The wildcard (`*`) applies the condition for all Amazon Personalize resources. 

 The following trust relationship policy grants Amazon Personalize access to your resources and uses the `aws:SourceArn` and `aws:SourceAccount` global condition context keys to prevent the confused deputy problem. Use this policy when you create a role for Amazon Personalize ([Creating an IAM role for Amazon Personalize](set-up-required-permissions.md#set-up-create-role-with-permissions)).

# Identity-based policy examples for Amazon Personalize
<a name="security_iam_id-based-policy-examples"></a>

By default, users and roles don't have permission to create or modify Amazon Personalize resources. To grant users permission to perform actions on the resources that they need, an IAM administrator can create IAM policies.

To learn how to create an IAM identity-based policy by using these example JSON policy documents, see [Create IAM policies (console)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_create-console.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

For details about actions and resource types defined by Amazon Personalize, including the format of the ARNs for each of the resource types, see [Actions, resources, and condition keys for Amazon Personalize](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_amazonpersonalize.html) in the *Service Authorization Reference*.

## Policy best practices
<a name="security_iam_service-with-iam-policy-best-practices"></a>

Identity-based policies determine whether someone can create, access, or delete Amazon Personalize resources in your account. These actions can incur costs for your AWS account. When you create or edit identity-based policies, follow these guidelines and recommendations:
+ **Get started with AWS managed policies and move toward least-privilege permissions** – To get started granting permissions to your users and workloads, use the *AWS managed policies* that grant permissions for many common use cases. They are available in your AWS account. We recommend that you reduce permissions further by defining AWS customer managed policies that are specific to your use cases. For more information, see [AWS managed policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_managed-vs-inline.html#aws-managed-policies) or [AWS managed policies for job functions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_job-functions.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.
+ **Apply least-privilege permissions** – When you set permissions with IAM policies, grant only the permissions required to perform a task. You do this by defining the actions that can be taken on specific resources under specific conditions, also known as *least-privilege permissions*. For more information about using IAM to apply permissions, see [ Policies and permissions in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.
+ **Use conditions in IAM policies to further restrict access** – You can add a condition to your policies to limit access to actions and resources. For example, you can write a policy condition to specify that all requests must be sent using SSL. You can also use conditions to grant access to service actions if they are used through a specific AWS service, such as CloudFormation. For more information, see [ IAM JSON policy elements: Condition](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements_condition.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.
+ **Use IAM Access Analyzer to validate your IAM policies to ensure secure and functional permissions** – IAM Access Analyzer validates new and existing policies so that the policies adhere to the IAM policy language (JSON) and IAM best practices. IAM Access Analyzer provides more than 100 policy checks and actionable recommendations to help you author secure and functional policies. For more information, see [Validate policies with IAM Access Analyzer](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access-analyzer-policy-validation.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.
+ **Require multi-factor authentication (MFA)** – If you have a scenario that requires IAM users or a root user in your AWS account, turn on MFA for additional security. To require MFA when API operations are called, add MFA conditions to your policies. For more information, see [ Secure API access with MFA](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_mfa_configure-api-require.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

For more information about best practices in IAM, see [Security best practices in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

## AWS managed policies
<a name="using-managed-policies"></a>

 AWS managed polices are policies that are created and managed by AWS. The following are examples of AWS managed policies you might use when working with Amazon Personalize. 

**AmazonPersonalizeFullAccess Policy**

You can use the AWS managed `AmazonPersonalizeFullAccess` policy to give users the following permissions:
+ Access all Amazon Personalize resources
+ Publish and list metrics on Amazon CloudWatch
+ List, read, write, and delete all objects in an Amazon S3 bucket that contains `Personalize` or `personalize` in the bucket name
+ Pass a role to Amazon Personalize

 `AmazonPersonalizeFullAccess` provides more permissions than are necessary. We recommend creating a new IAM policy that only grants the necessary permissions (see [Giving Amazon Personalize permission to access your resources](set-up-required-permissions.md)). 

 **CloudWatchFullAccess** 

 To give your users permission to monitor Amazon Personalize with CloudWatch, attach the `CloudWatchFullAccess` policy to your role. For more information, see [Monitoring Amazon Personalize with Amazon CloudWatch](personalize-monitoring.md). 

 The `CloudWatchFullAccess` policy is optional and grants permission for the following actions: 
+ Publish and list Amazon Personalize metrics in CloudWatch
+  View metrics and metric statistics. 
+  Set metric based alarms. 

## Using the Amazon Personalize console
<a name="security_iam_id-based-policy-examples-console"></a>

To access the Amazon Personalize console, you must have a minimum set of permissions. These permissions must allow you to list and view details about the Amazon Personalize resources in your AWS account. If you create an identity-based policy that is more restrictive than the minimum required permissions, the console won't function as intended for entities (users or roles) with that policy.

You don't need to allow minimum console permissions for users that are making calls only to the AWS CLI or the AWS API. Instead, allow access to only the actions that match the API operation that they're trying to perform.

## Allow users to view their own permissions
<a name="security_iam_id-based-policy-examples-view-own-permissions"></a>

This example shows how you might create a policy that allows IAM users to view the inline and managed policies that are attached to their user identity. This policy includes permissions to complete this action on the console or programmatically using the AWS CLI or AWS API.

```

            ],
            "Resource": ["arn:aws:iam::*:user/${aws:username}"]
        },
        {
            "Sid": "NavigateInConsole",

            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
```

## Allowing full access to Amazon Personalize resources
<a name="security_iam_id-based-policy-examples-full-access"></a>

The following example gives an IAM user in your AWS account full access to all Amazon Personalize resources and actions.

            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
```

## Allowing read-only access to Amazon Personalize resources
<a name="security_iam_id-based-policy-examples-read-only"></a>

In this example, you grant an IAM user in your AWS account read-only access to your Amazon Personalize resources, including Amazon Personalize datasets, dataset groups, solutions, and campaigns.

# Troubleshooting Amazon Personalize identity and access
<a name="security_iam_troubleshoot"></a>

Use the following information to help you diagnose and fix common issues that you might encounter when working with Amazon Personalize and IAM.

**Topics**
+ [I am not authorized to perform an action in Amazon Personalize](#security_iam_troubleshoot-no-permissions)
+ [I am not authorized to perform iam:PassRole](#security_iam_troubleshoot-passrole)
+ [I want to allow people outside of my AWS account to access my Amazon Personalize resources](#security_iam_troubleshoot-cross-account-access)

## I am not authorized to perform an action in Amazon Personalize
<a name="security_iam_troubleshoot-no-permissions"></a>

If you receive an error that you're not authorized to perform an action, your policies must be updated to allow you to perform the action.

The following example error occurs when the `mateojackson` IAM user tries to use the console to view details about a fictional `my-example-widget` resource but doesn't have the fictional `personalize:GetWidget` permissions.

```
User: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/mateojackson is not authorized to perform: personalize:GetWidget on resource: my-example-widget
```

In this case, the policy for the `mateojackson` user must be updated to allow access to the `my-example-widget` resource by using the `personalize:GetWidget` action.

If you need help, contact your AWS administrator. Your administrator is the person who provided you with your sign-in credentials.

## I am not authorized to perform iam:PassRole
<a name="security_iam_troubleshoot-passrole"></a>

If you receive an error that you're not authorized to perform the `iam:PassRole` action, your policies must be updated to allow you to pass a role to Amazon Personalize.

Some AWS services allow you to pass an existing role to that service instead of creating a new service role or service-linked role. To do this, you must have permissions to pass the role to the service.

The following example error occurs when an IAM user named `marymajor` tries to use the console to perform an action in Amazon Personalize. However, the action requires the service to have permissions that are granted by a service role. Mary does not have permissions to pass the role to the service.

```
User: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/marymajor is not authorized to perform: iam:PassRole
```

In this case, Mary's policies must be updated to allow her to perform the `iam:PassRole` action.

If you need help, contact your AWS administrator. Your administrator is the person who provided you with your sign-in credentials.

## I want to allow people outside of my AWS account to access my Amazon Personalize resources
<a name="security_iam_troubleshoot-cross-account-access"></a>

You can create a role that users in other accounts or people outside of your organization can use to access your resources. You can specify who is trusted to assume the role. For services that support resource-based policies or access control lists (ACLs), you can use those policies to grant people access to your resources.

To learn more, consult the following:
+ To learn whether Amazon Personalize supports these features, see [How Amazon Personalize works with IAM](security_iam_service-with-iam.md).
+ To learn how to provide access to your resources across AWS accounts that you own, see [Providing access to an IAM user in another AWS account that you own](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_common-scenarios_aws-accounts.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.
+ To learn how to provide access to your resources to third-party AWS accounts, see [Providing access to AWS accounts owned by third parties](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_common-scenarios_third-party.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

# Monitoring Amazon Personalize with Amazon CloudWatch
<a name="personalize-monitoring"></a>

With Amazon CloudWatch, you can get metrics associated with Amazon Personalize. You can set up alarms to notify you when one or more of these metrics fall outside a defined threshold. To see metrics, you can use [Amazon CloudWatch](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/), [Amazon AWS Command Line Interface](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/cli/), or the [CloudWatch API](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/).

+ [Using CloudWatch metrics for Amazon Personalize](#using-metrics)
+ [Accessing Amazon Personalize metrics](#how-to-access)
+ [Creating an alarm](#alarms)
+ [Amazon Personalize serverless monitoring app example](#creating-monitor-app)
+ [CloudWatch metrics for Amazon Personalize](cloudwatch-metrics.md)

## Using CloudWatch metrics for Amazon Personalize
<a name="using-metrics"></a>

To use metrics, you must specify the following information:
+ The metric name.
+ The metric dimension. A *dimension* is a name-value pair that helps you to uniquely identify a metric.

You can get monitoring data for Amazon Personalize using the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the CloudWatch API. You can also use the CloudWatch API through one of the AWS SDKs or the CloudWatch API tools. The console displays a series of graphs based on the raw data from the CloudWatch API. Depending on your needs, you might prefer to use either the graphs displayed in the console or retrieved from the API.

The following list shows some common uses for the metrics. These are suggestions to get you started, not a comprehensive list.


| How do I? | Relevant metric | 
| --- | --- | 
|  How do I track the number of events that have been recorded?  |  Monitor the `PutEventsRequests` metric.  | 
|  How can I monitor the DatasetImportJob errors?  |  Use the `DatasetImportJobError` metric.  | 
|  How can I monitor the latency of `GetRecommendations` calls?  |  Use the `GetRecommendationsLatency` metric.  | 

You must have the appropriate CloudWatch permissions to monitor Amazon Personalize with CloudWatch. For more information, see [Authentication and access control for Amazon CloudWatch](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/auth-and-access-control-cw.html).

## Accessing Amazon Personalize metrics
<a name="how-to-access"></a>

The following examples show how to access Amazon Personalize metrics using the CloudWatch console, the AWS CLI, and the CloudWatch API.

**To view metrics (console)**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the CloudWatch console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/).

1. Choose **Metrics**, choose the **All metrics** tab, and then choose `AWS/Personalize`.

1. Choose the metric dimension.

1. Choose the desired metric from the list, and choose a time period for the graph.

**To view metrics for events received over a period of time (CLI)**
+ Open the AWS CLI and enter the following command:

  ```
  aws cloudwatch get-metric-statistics \
    --metric-name PutEventsRequests \
    --start-time 2019-03-15T00:00:20Z \
    --period 3600 \
    --end-time 2019-03-16T00:00:00Z \
    --namespace AWS/Personalize \
    --dimensions Name=EventTrackerArn,Value=EventTrackerArn \
    --statistics Sum
  ```

  This example shows the events received for the given event tracker ARN over a period of time. For more information, see [get-metric-statistics](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/cloudwatch/get-metric-statistics.html).

**To access metrics (CloudWatch API)**
+  Call `[GetMetricStatistics](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_GetMetricStatistics.html)`. For more information, see the [Amazon CloudWatch API Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/).

## Creating an alarm
<a name="alarms"></a>

You can create a CloudWatch alarm that sends an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) message when the alarm changes state. An alarm watches a single metric over a time period you specify. The alarm performs one or more actions based on the value of the metric relative to a given threshold over a number of time periods. The action is a notification sent to an Amazon SNS topic or an AWS Auto Scaling policy.

Alarms invoke actions for sustained state changes only. CloudWatch alarms do not invoke actions simply because they are in a particular state. The state must have changed and been maintained for a specified number of time periods.

**To set an alarm (console)**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the CloudWatch console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/).

1. In the navigation pane, Choose **Alarms**, and then choose **Create alarm**. This launches the **Create Alarm Wizard**. 

1. Choose **Select metric**.

1. In the **All metrics** tab, choose `AWS/Personalize`.

1. Choose **EventTrackerArn**, and then choose **PutEventsRequests** metrics.

1. Choose the **Graphed metrics** tab.

1. For **Statistic** choose **Sum**.

1. Choose **Select metric**.

1. Fill in the **Name** and **Description**. For **Whenever**, choose **>**, and then enter a maximum value of your choice.

1. If you want CloudWatch to send you email when the alarm state is reached, for **Whenever this alarm:**, choose ** State is ALARM**. To send alarms to an existing Amazon SNS topic, for **Send notification to:**, choose an existing SNS topic. To set the name and email addresses for a new email subscription list, choose **New list**. CloudWatch saves the list and displays it in the field so you can use it to set future alarms. 
**Note**  
If you use **New list** to create a new Amazon SNS topic, the email addresses must be verified before the intended recipients receive notifications. Amazon SNS sends email only when the alarm enters an alarm state. If this alarm state change happens before the email addresses are verified, intended recipients do not receive a notification.

1. Choose **Create alarm**. 

**To set an alarm (AWS CLI)**
+ Open the AWS CLI, and then enter the following command. Change the value of the `alarm-actions` parameter to reference an Amazon SNS topic that you previously created.

  ```
  aws cloudwatch put-metric-alarm \
      --alarm-name PersonalizeCLI \
      --alarm-description "Alarm when more than 10 events occur" \
      --metric-name PutEventsRequests \
      --namespace  AWS/Personalize \
      --statistic Sum \
      --period 300 \
      --threshold 10 \
      --comparison-operator GreaterThanThreshold \
      --evaluation-periods 1 \
      --unit Count \
      --dimensions Name=EventTrackerArn,Value=EventTrackerArn \
      --alarm-actions SNSTopicArn
  ```

  This example shows how to create an alarm for when more than 10 events occur for the given event tracker ARN within 5 minutes. For more information, see [put-metric-alarm](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/cloudwatch/put-metric-alarm.html).

**To set an alarm (CloudWatch API)**
+ Call `[PutMetricAlarm](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_PutMetricAlarm.html)`. For more information, see *[Amazon CloudWatch API Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/)*.

# Logging Amazon Personalize API calls with AWS CloudTrail
<a name="logging-using-cloudtrail"></a>

Amazon Personalize is integrated with AWS CloudTrail, a service that provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service in Amazon Personalize. CloudTrail captures a subset of API calls for Amazon Personalize as events, including calls from the Amazon Personalize console and from code calls to the Amazon Personalize APIs. If you create a trail, you can enable continuous delivery of CloudTrail events to an Amazon S3 bucket, including events for Amazon Personalize. If you don't configure a trail, you can still view the most recent events in the CloudTrail console in **Event history**. Using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine the request that was made to Amazon Personalize, the IP address from which the request was made, who made the request, when it was made, and additional details. 

To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to configure and enable it, see the [AWS CloudTrail User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/).

## Amazon Personalize information in CloudTrail
<a name="service-name-info-in-cloudtrail"></a>

CloudTrail is enabled on your AWS account when you create the account. When supported event activity occurs in Amazon Personalize, that activity is recorded in a CloudTrail event along with other AWS service events in **Event history**. You can view, search, and download recent events in your AWS account. For more information, see [Viewing events with CloudTrail event history](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/view-cloudtrail-events.html). 

For an ongoing record of events in your AWS account, including events for Amazon Personalize, create a trail. A trail enables CloudTrail to deliver log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By default, when you create a trail in the console, the trail applies to all regions. The trail logs events from all regions in the AWS partition and delivers the log files to the Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. Additionally, you can configure other AWS services to further analyze and act upon the event data collected in CloudTrail logs. For more information, see: 
+ [Overview for creating a trail](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-create-and-update-a-trail.html)
+ [CloudTrail supported services and integrations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-aws-service-specific-topics.html#cloudtrail-aws-service-specific-topics-integrations)
+ [Configuring Amazon SNS notifications for CloudTrail](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/getting_notifications_top_level.html)
+ [Receiving CloudTrail log files from multiple regions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/receive-cloudtrail-log-files-from-multiple-regions.html) and [Receiving CloudTrail log files from multiple accounts](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-receive-logs-from-multiple-accounts.html)

Amazon Personalize supports logging every action (API operation) as an event in CloudTrail log files. For more information, see [Actions](API_Operations.md).

Every event or log entry contains information about who generated the request. The identity information helps you determine the following: 
+ Whether the request was made with root or user credentials.
+ Whether the request was made with temporary security credentials for a role or federated user.
+ Whether the request was made by another AWS service.

For more information, see the [CloudTrail userIdentity element](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-event-reference-user-identity.html).

## Example: Amazon Personalize log file entries
<a name="understanding-service-name-entries"></a>

 A trail is a configuration that enables delivery of events as log files to an Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. CloudTrail log files contain one or more log entries. An event represents a single request from any source and includes information about the requested action, the date and time of the action, request parameters, and so on. CloudTrail log files are not an ordered stack trace of the public API calls, so they do not appear in any specific order. 

The following example shows a CloudTrail log entry with actions for the ListDatasetGroups API operation. Note that because the ListDatasetGroups API operation is an action that doesn't change state, the `responseElements` response is null. For more information about the body of CloudTrail records, see [CloudTrail record contents](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-event-reference-record-contents.html).

# Resilience in Amazon Personalize
<a name="disaster-recovery-resiliency"></a>

The AWS global infrastructure is built around AWS Regions and Availability Zones. AWS Regions provide multiple physically separated and isolated Availability Zones, which are connected with low-latency, high-throughput, and highly redundant networking. With Availability Zones, you can design and operate applications and databases that automatically fail over between zones without interruption. Availability Zones are more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than traditional single or multiple data center infrastructures. 

 Amazon Personalize leverages the AWS global infrastructure for data resiliency. When you create an Amazon Personalize resource in an AWS Region, Amazon Personalize manages the resilience and data redundancy of the resource across multiple Availability Zones. For a list of AWS regions where you can create Amazon Personalize resources, see [AWS regions and endpoints](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/personalize.html) in the *Amazon Web Services General Reference*. For more information about AWS Regions and Availability Zones, see [AWS global infrastructure](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/).

# Infrastructure security in Amazon Personalize
<a name="infrastructure-security"></a>

As a managed service, Amazon Personalize is protected by AWS global network security. For information about AWS security services and how AWS protects infrastructure, see [AWS Cloud Security](https://aws.amazon.com/security/). To design your AWS environment using the best practices for infrastructure security, see [Infrastructure Protection](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/latest/security-pillar/infrastructure-protection.html) in *Security Pillar AWS Well‐Architected Framework*.

You use AWS published API calls to access Amazon Personalize through the network. Clients must support the following:
+ Transport Layer Security (TLS). We require TLS 1.2 and recommend TLS 1.3.
+ Cipher suites with perfect forward secrecy (PFS) such as DHE (Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman) or ECDHE (Elliptic Curve Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman). Most modern systems such as Java 7 and later support these modes.

# Amazon Personalize and interface VPC endpoints (AWS PrivateLink)
<a name="vpc-interface-endpoints"></a>

If you use Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) to host your AWS resources, you can establish a private connection between your VPC and Amazon Personalize. This connection allows Amazon Personalize to communicate with your resources on your VPC without going through the public internet.

Amazon VPC is an AWS service that you use to launch AWS resources in a virtual private cloud (VPC) or virtual network that you define. With a VPC, you have control over your network settings, such the IP address range, subnets, route tables, and network gateways. With VPC endpoints, the AWS network handles the routing between your VPC and AWS services.

To connect your VPC to Amazon Personalize, you define an interface VPC endpoint for Amazon Personalize. An interface endpoint is an elastic network interface with a private IP address that serves as an entry point for traffic destined to a supported AWS service. The endpoint provides reliable, scalable connectivity to Amazon Personalize. It doesn't require an internet gateway, a network address translation (NAT) instance, or a VPN connection. For more information, see [What is Amazon VPC](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/) in the *Amazon VPC User Guide*.

Interface VPC endpoints are enabled by AWS PrivateLink. This AWS technology enables private communication between AWS services by using an elastic network interface with private IP addresses. 

**Note**  
All Amazon Personalize Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) endpoints are supported by AWS PrivateLink.

+ [Creating a VPC endpoint policy for Amazon Personalize](#vpc-endpoint-policy)

## Creating an interface VPC endpoint for Amazon Personalize
<a name="vpc-endpoint-create"></a>

You can create a VPC endpoint for the Amazon Personalize service with either the Amazon VPC console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). For more information, see [Access an AWS service using an interface VPC endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/create-interface-endpoint.html#create-interface-endpoint) in the *Amazon VPC User Guide*. 

To create a VPC endpoint for Amazon Personalize, choose one of the following for the service. You can choose to create an ipv4, ipv6, or dualstack endpoint.
+ com.amazonaws.*region*.personalize
+ com.amazonaws.*region*.personalize-events
+ com.amazonaws.*region*.personalize-runtime

If you enable private DNS for the endpoint, you can make API requests to Amazon Personalize using its default DNS name for the Region, for example, `personalize.us-east-1.api.aws`.

## Creating a VPC endpoint policy for Amazon Personalize
<a name="vpc-endpoint-policy"></a>

You can attach an endpoint policy to your VPC endpoint that controls access to Amazon Personalize. The policy specifies the following information:
+ The principal that can perform actions.
+ The actions that can be performed.
+ The resources on which actions can be performed.

For more information, see [Controlling access to services with VPC endpoints](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/vpc-endpoints-access.html) in the *Amazon VPC User Guide*. 

**Example: VPC endpoint policy allowing all Amazon Personalize actions and passRole actions**  
When attached to an endpoint, this policy grants access to all Amazon Personalize actions and passRole actions.

```
{
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Principal": "*",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "personalize:*",
                "iam:PassRole"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
```

**Example: VPC endpoint policy allowing Amazon Personalize ListDatasets actions**  
When attached to an endpoint, this policy grants access to the listed Amazon Personalize ListDatasets actions.

```
{
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Principal": "*",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "personalize:ListDatasets"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
```
