HAQM SQS is now available through VPC endpoints in the Middle East (Bahrain) region, allowing you to access HAQM SQS within your HAQM Virtual Private Cloud (HAQM VPC) without traversing the internet.
VPC endpoints for HAQM SQS are powered by AWS PrivateLink, a highly available, scalable technology that provides secure, private connectivity between VPCs and AWS services. HAQM VPC endpoints are easy to configure and provide reliable connectivity to HAQM SQS without requiring an internet gateway, Network Address Translation (NAT) instance, or AWS Direct Connect connection. With VPC endpoints, the data between your HAQM VPC and HAQM SQS is transferred within the HAQM network, and thus protected from the public internet. You can create an interface VPC endpoint for HAQM SQS in your VPC using the HAQM VPC console, SDK or CLI. You can also access the VPC endpoint from on-premises environments or from other VPCs using AWS Direct Connect, or VPC Peering.
There are no additional HAQM SQS costs to use this feature. For VPC Endpoints, Interface VPC endpoint charges apply. To learn more, see SQS VPC Endpoints in the HAQM SQS Developer Guide.
