🆕 AWS DataSync supports shared VPCs for private data transfers across accounts via a single endpoint, cutting IP usage and reducing overhead. Available everywhere except AWS Secret Regions.

#AWS #AwsDatasync #AmazonVpc #AwsPrivatelink
AWS DataSync now supports shared VPCs
AWS DataSync now supports shared Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). You can create DataSync agents and run transfer tasks using subnets shared across AWS accounts with AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM). It allows you to transfer data privately over a shared subnet and VPC endpoint managed in a central account, rather than one per account. Customers that centralize their networking previously had to create a separate DataSync VPC endpoint in every account that connected privately through AWS PrivateLink. Each endpoint consumed IP addresses and added operational overhead to maintain across accounts. With shared VPC support, a single endpoint in the account that owns the VPC serves every account the subnet is shared with, conserving IP address space and removing the need for a per-account endpoint. This launch also helps within a single account setup. You can now use one VPC endpoint across multiple subnets, removing the earlier requirement for a matching VPC endpoint in each subnet. Shared VPC is supported for both Enhanced mode and Basic mode agent-based tasks. To get started, create a DataSync agent using the console or the CreateAgent API and specify a subnet shared with your account via AWS RAM. AWS DataSync support for Shared VPCs is available in all AWS Regions, except AWS Secret Regions, where AWS DataSync is offered. To learn more, visit the AWS DataSync feature documentation.

Using Enhanced mode, customers can accelerate generative AI workloads by rapidly moving training datasets to AWS, power data lake analytics by synchronizing on-premises data with cloud-based pipelines, and drive large-scale migrations for archival and cloud modernization. This new capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DataSync is offered. To get started, visit the AWS DataSync console. For more information, see the AWS DataSync documentation.

AWS DataSync now supports VPC endpoint policies
AWS DataSync now supports virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoint policies, allowing you to control access to DataSync API operations through DataSync VPC service endpoints and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3 enabled VPC service endpoints. This new feature helps organizations strengthen their security posture and meet compliance requirements when accessing DataSync API operations through VPC endpoints. VPC endpoint policies allow you to restrict specific DataSync API actions accessed through your VPC endpoints. For example, you can control which AWS principals can access DataSync operations such as CreateTask, StartTaskExecution, or ListAgents. These policies work in conjunction with identity-based policies and resource-based policies to secure access in your AWS environment. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DataSync is available. For more information about FIPS 140-3 at AWS, visit FIPS 140-3 Compliance. To learn more about VPC endpoint policies for AWS DataSync, see the AWS DataSync User Guide.
