AWS – Amazon Neptune Database now supports Public Endpoints for simplified development access
Amazon Neptune Database, a fully managed graph database service, now supports Public Endpoints, allowing developers to connect directly to Neptune databases from their development desktops without complex networking configurations.
With Public Endpoints, developers can securely access their Neptune databases from outside the VPC, eliminating the need for VPN connections, bastion hosts, or other networking configurations. This feature streamlines the development process while maintaining security through existing controls like IAM authentication, VPC security groups, and encryption in transit.
Public Endpoints can be enabled for new or existing Neptune clusters, with engine version 1.4.6 or above, through the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK. When enabled, Neptune generates a publicly accessible endpoint that developers can use with standard Neptune connection methods from their development machines. This feature is available at no additional cost beyond standard Neptune pricing and is available today in all AWS Regions where Neptune Database is offered.
