Amazon MQ now provides support Amazon PrivateLink (interface VPC endpoint) to connect directly to the Amazon MQ API in your virtual private cloud (VPC) instead of connecting over the internet.

When you use Amazon PrivateLink, communication between your VPC and Amazon MQ API is conducted entirely within the Amazon Web Services China network, providing an optimized secure pathway for your data. A PrivateLink endpoint connects your VPC directly to the Amazon MQ API. The instances in your VPC do not need public IP addresses to communicate with the Amazon MQ API. To use Amazon MQ through your VPC, you can connect from an instance that is inside your VPC, or connect your private network to your VPC by using an Amazon Direct Connect. You can create an Amazon PrivateLink to connect to Amazon MQ using the Amazon Web Services Console or Command Line Interface (CLI) commands.  

To learn more about using Amazon PrivateLink, see the Amazon MQ developer guide, Creating an Interface Endpoint, and the Amazon MQ release notes.
