PrivateLink:
PrivateLink is a technology that allows you to connect privately to services hosted by AWS, AWS partners, and even your own applications, using private IP addresses and VPC endpoints.
Analogy: Imagine PrivateLink as a secure tunnel between your office building (VPC) and a specific service provider’s building, enabling direct and private access to their services without exposing traffic to the public network.
Why It Matters: PrivateLink enhances security and simplifies connectivity to services, ensuring that traffic remains within the AWS network and reducing exposure to public internet risks.
