AWS introduced PrivateLink integration for AWS Backup storage endpoints specific to SAP HANA workloads running on Amazon EC2. This enables backup data to be routed exclusively over private networks, avoiding public internet exposure, which is critical for regulated industries like finance, healthcare, and government.
Previously, while SAP HANA applications could securely use PrivateLink, backup data still traversed public endpoints. This update facilitates end-to-end private connectivity for both application and backup traffic, assisting compliance with HIPAA, PCI DSS, and privacy regulations. The feature is available across all AWS regions supporting SAP HANA on EC2.
