Creates a VPC endpoint for a specified service. An endpoint enables you to create a private connection between your VPC and the service. The service may be provided by Amazon Web Services, an Amazon Web Services Marketplace Partner, or another Amazon Web Services account. For more information, see VPC Endpoints in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide .
A gateway
endpoint serves as a target for a route in your route table for traffic destined for the Amazon Web Service. You can specify an endpoint policy to attach to the endpoint, which will control access to the service from your VPC. You can also specify the VPC route tables that use the endpoint.
An interface
endpoint is a network interface in your subnet that serves as an endpoint for communicating with the specified service. You can specify the subnets in which to create an endpoint, and the security groups to associate with the endpoint network interface.
A GatewayLoadBalancer
endpoint is a network interface in your subnet that serves an endpoint for communicating with a Gateway Load Balancer that you’ve configured as a VPC endpoint service.
Use DescribeVpcEndpointServices to get a list of supported services.

--dry-run
| --no-dry-run
(boolean)
Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is
DryRunOperation
. Otherwise, it isUnauthorizedOperation
.
--vpc-endpoint-type
(string)
The type of endpoint.
Default: Gateway
Possible values:
Interface
Gateway
GatewayLoadBalancer
--vpc-id
(string)
The ID of the VPC in which the endpoint will be used.
--service-name
(string)
The service name. To get a list of available services, use the DescribeVpcEndpointServices request, or get the name from the service provider.
--policy-document
(string)
(Interface and gateway endpoints) A policy to attach to the endpoint that controls access to the service. The policy must be in valid JSON format. If this parameter is not specified, we attach a default policy that allows full access to the service.
--route-table-ids
(list)
(Gateway endpoint) One or more route table IDs.
(string)
Syntax:
"string" "string" ...
--subnet-ids
(list)
(Interface and Gateway Load Balancer endpoints) The ID of one or more subnets in which to create an endpoint network interface. For a Gateway Load Balancer endpoint, you can specify one subnet only.

--private-dns-enabled
| --no-private-dns-enabled
(boolean)
(Interface endpoint) Indicates whether to associate a private hosted zone with the specified VPC. The private hosted zone contains a record set for the default public DNS name for the service for the Region (for example,
kinesis.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
), which resolves to the private IP addresses of the endpoint network interfaces in the VPC. This enables you to make requests to the default public DNS name for the service instead of the public DNS names that are automatically generated by the VPC endpoint service.To use a private hosted zone, you must set the following VPC attributes to
true
:enableDnsHostnames
andenableDnsSupport
. Use ModifyVpcAttribute to set the VPC attributes.Default:
true

The tags to associate with the endpoint.
(structure)
The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created.
ResourceType -> (string)
The type of resource to tag on creation.
Tags -> (list)
The tags to apply to the resource.
(structure)
Describes a tag.
Key -> (string)
The key of the tag.
Constraints: Tag keys are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 127 Unicode characters. May not begin with
aws:

--cli-input-json
| --cli-input-yaml
(string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml
.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. Similarly, if provided yaml-input
it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
