You can now add tags to your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) gateway endpoints, interface endpoints (Amazon PrivateLink), and endpoint services (Amazon PrivateLink). A tag is a simple label consisting of a customer-defined key and an optional value that can be used to search, filter, and organize your VPC endpoints and endpoint services.

Amazon PrivateLink allows you to privately access services hosted on Amazon Web Services in a highly available and scalable manner, without using public IPs and without requiring the traffic to traverse the internet. PrivateLink removes the need for whitelisting public IPs, or managing the internet connectivity using an internet gateway, network address translation (NAT) devices, or firewall proxies to connect to services hosted on Amazon Web Services. Services available on PrivateLink also support private connectivity over Amazon Direct Connect and your deployed VPN, so that applications in your own data centers can connect to Amazon Web Services services via the Amazon private network using service endpoints.

Tagging support for endpoints and endpoint services is available through the Amazon Web Services console, command-line interfaces (CLIs), and software-development kits (SDKs). Tagging support is now available in the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region operated by NWCD. Learn more about tagging in this user guide. Learn more about Amazon PrivateLink from the product page and the documentation.
