AWS – Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling expands AWS PrivateLink support to FIPS endpoints

Starting today, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling (ASG) supports Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3 validated VPC endpoints. With this launch, you can use AWS PrivateLink with ASG for regulated workloads that require secure connections using FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules.

FIPS-compliant endpoints help organizations contracting with the U.S. federal government meet FIPS security requirements for encrypting sensitive data in supported regions. To create a VPC endpoint that connects to an ASG endpoint, see Setting up a VPC endpoint for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling.

This capability is available in the following regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), and Canada West (Calgary).
