Secure your network traffic and take advantage of the cloud
With AWS PrivateLink, you establish private connections to services in the AWS Cloud. Whether you continue in a hybrid cloud environment or migrate fully to the cloud, your data stays secure and compliant.
Access SaaS applications securely and privately using AWS PrivateLink
By creating private connections to services hosted on AWS from your virtual private cloud (VPC) and on-premises, AWS PrivateLink can keep your data private and secure, help maintain regulatory compliance, and reduce costs, while also simplifying your network management. Together, AWS and your SaaS provider can help you implement this solution and prepare your organization for a migration to the cloud. Take advantage of the breadth of applications and solutions available on AWS Marketplace who already support AWS PrivateLink.
Benefits of using AWS PrivateLink
Simplify network management & reduce costs
Connect to services in different accounts with overlapping IP address spaces, without the need for internet gateways or network address translation (NAT).
Secure your traffic
Exchange data privately with SaaS applications using private IP addresses without opening your VPC to the public internet. Traffic stays on the Amazon network.
Accelerate your cloud migration
Connect to SaaS applications from on-premises by combining AWS PrivateLink with Direct Connect or virtual private network (VPN).
Maintain regulatory compliance
Keep sensitive data, like customer records, secure by staying on the Amazon network, and upholding regulations like HIPAA, EU/US Privacy Shield, and more.

AWS PrivateLink use cases
SECURELY ACCESS SAAS APPLICATIONS
Many APN partners deliver SaaS services like log analytics and security scans to their customers on AWS. SaaS providers install agents or clients in their customers' VPCs to generate and send data back to the provider. When using SaaS applications, customers have to choose between allowing Internet access from their VPC, which puts the VPC resources at risk, and not using these applications at all. With AWS PrivateLink, you can connect to AWS services and SaaS applications from your VPC in a private, secure, and scalable manner.
MIGRATE TO HYBRID CLOUD
On-premises applications can connect to service endpoints in Amazon VPC over AWS Direct Connect or AWS VPN. Service endpoints will direct the traffic to AWS services over AWS PrivateLink, while keeping the network traffic within the Amazon network. AWS PrivateLink enables SaaS providers to offer services that will look and feel like they are hosted directly on a private network. These services are securely accessible both from the cloud and from premises via AWS Direct Connect and AWS VPN, in a highly available and scalable manner.
MAINTAIN REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Preventing your sensitive data, such as customer records, from traversing the Internet helps you maintain compliance with regulations such as HIPAA, EU/US Privacy Shield, and PCI. This is especially critical to customers in the Financial Services, Healthcare, and Government sectors. With AWS PrivateLink, traffic between AWS resources, VPCs, and third-party services stays on the Amazon network where there are robust controls in place to maintain security and compliance. This includes compliance alignment with standard financial regulations such as the SEC Rule 17a-4(f) and the FICS of Japan.
