AWS PrivateLink is just one option. AWS also offers free VPC peering too, but PrivateLink works better.

- sandGorgon 6y agoVPC peering is not free.
- BillinghamJ 6y agohttps://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/peering/vpc-peering-basics.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/peering/vpc-peering-b... > If the VPCs in the VPC peering connection are within the same region, the charges for transferring data within the VPC peering connection are the same as the charges for transferring data across Availability Zones. If the VPCs are in different regions, inter-region data transfer costs apply. There is no additional cost
- sandGorgon 6y agoIm a bit confused - could you disambiguate here. I checked with a couple of people and they read the above to mean that any peering data transfer costs the SAME as if you were transferring data across availability zones. This is not free. Inter region transfer is a different tier
- BillinghamJ 6y agoWell sure, it's not free, but it's the same cost as if you were moving data within your AWS account, so they're not charging for the use of VPC peering specifically.
