Private Link

Private Link enables users to connect their VPC to the Nodegroup without exposing data online. It acts like a VPN between two VPCs. Each Nodegroup operates in its own isolated VPC, ensuring secure separation between different Nodegroups. Connecting to the Nodegroup via Private Link is recommended to enhance data access security. This method ensures that access originates solely from the user's VPC, keeps all traffic private from the public Internet, and ensures the network architecture prevents any potential external access to the Nodegroup.

Benefits:

• Private network communication: Traffic remains within the intranet and does not traverse the public network, reducing security risks associated with public network usage.
• Secure and manageable: Security group rules can be applied to the elastic network card associated with the service to enhance security and oversight. Additionally, source authentication policies can be set up for the terminal node to facilitate controlled and safer private network access.
• Low latency: Access requests are handled within the same availability zone, providing optimal latency solutions.
• Real-time monitoring: Leading cloud service providers offering Private Link services include flow log capabilities, capturing inbound and outbound traffic data for the terminal node network card. This ensures transparency and control over network communications.
