AWS – 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.
