As businesses increasingly move their applications and services to the cloud, security and privacy have become major concerns. While the cloud offers incredible flexibility and scalability, there’s always the question of how to safely connect your services to each other without exposing them to the public internet. Enter AWS Private Link, a secure, efficient way to ensure that your communications remain private.
But what exactly is AWS PrivateLink? In this blog, we’ll break it down in simple terms and explore why it’s such a valuable tool for enhancing privacy in your cloud architecture.
Understanding AWS PrivateLink
AWS PrivateLink is a service that allows you to securely access AWS services and your own or third-party services without having to go through the public internet. This means all communication stays within the AWS network, significantly reducing the attack surface and improving security.

Benefits of AWS Private Link
- 增强安全性
The standout feature of PrivateLink is the added layer of security. By keeping all traffic within the AWS infrastructure, you’re minimizing your exposure to potential attacks on the open internet. This is especially critical for industries with strict compliance requirements, like finance or healthcare. - Simplified Networking
Without needing to set up complex firewall rules or configure public endpoints, PrivateLink simplifies your network architecture. Your services can seamlessly communicate without worrying about external exposure or additional infrastructure. - Private Access to AWS Services
AWS PrivateLink makes it possible to privately connect to popular AWS services like Amazon RDS, Amazon EC2, and more, without having to route traffic over the public internet. This keeps your data safe and communication smooth. - Cost-Efficient
Since PrivateLink eliminates the need for NAT gateways, internet gateways, or public IP addresses, it can reduce costs in your overall network design. You also avoid data transfer fees typically associated with internet traffic.
