Create a VPC endpoint for connection

You can optionally create your own service powered by AWS PrivateLink, known as an endpoint service, to enable direct, secure connectivity between CelerData's VPC and your own VPC.

If you use a private subnet to create a new cluster, you must set the correct VPC Endpoint for connection.

To create a VPC endpoint, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to the Amazon VPC console as a user with administrator privileges.

  2. In the upper-right corner of the page, select your AWS region.

  3. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Endpoints.

  4. On the Endpoints page, click Create endpoint.

    Create endpoint

  5. On the Create endpoint page, configure parameters as follows:

    a. For Service category, select PrivateLink Ready partner services.

    b. For Service name, enter the name of the service and click Verify service.

    If the service passes the verification, a message "Service name verified." appears below the Service name field.

    The service name varies depending on your selected AWS region. The following table lists the mapping between the supported AWS regions and service names.

    c. For VPC, select the VPC that you have selected in the previous steps. In Additional settings, select Enable DNS name in the DNS name section.

    After you select a VPC, Subnets and Security groups appear.

    d. For Subnets, select the availability zone, and then select the private subnet that you have selected from your selected VPC.

    e. For Security groups, select the security group that you have created in your selected VPC.

  6. After all the preceding parameters are configured, click Create endpoint.

    You are directed to the Endpoints page, which displays the VPC endpoint you just created.

    Wait until the Status of the VPC endpoint changes to Available.

    Because you have enabled DNS name, you will see that Private DNS names enabled is Yes, and there are DNS names prefixed by privatelink.celerdata.com in the DNS names section.
