Previously limited to publicly resolvable domain names, VPC Lattice resource configurations expanded to support private FQDNs resolved within customers’ VPC DNS settings. By setting the Resource Config DNS Resolution to 'IN_VPC', traffic routes appropriately without requiring public DNS entries. This enables sharing private domain targets securely across AWS accounts.

The feature supports tighter network security for privately hosted services and facilitates seamless cross-account communications, available at no extra cost in all VPC Lattice-supported AWS Regions. Users can enable the feature via the AWS Management Console, CLI, SDKs, or APIs.
