AWS App Runner services can now communicate with other applications hosted in an HAQM Virtual Private Cloud (HAQM VPC). You can now connect you App Runner services to databases in HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS), to Redis caches in HAQM ElastiCache, or to message queues in HAQM MQ. You can also connect your services to your own applications in HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS), HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS), or HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2). As a result, web applications and APIs running on App Runner can now get powerful support from data services on AWS to build production architectures.
To enable VPC access for your App Runner service, simply pass the subnets of the VPC and security groups while you create or update your App Runner service. App Runner uses this information to create network interfaces that facilitate communication to a VPC. If you pass multiple subnets, App Runner creates multiple network interfaces—one for each subnet. To learn more about using HAQM VPC with App Runner, see the documentation or the blog, or get started with the console today.
