Previously, resource sharing over PrivateLink required individual resource configurations. Tunnel endpoints permit connectivity to a CIDR range resource configuration shared through AWS Resource Access Manager, allowing vendors or partners to access multiple resources within that network via a single encrypted GENEVE tunnel endpoint.

This capability streamlines multi-resource private access while maintaining high availability and scalability within numerous AWS Regions. Charges apply hourly for tunnel endpoints plus data processed. The feature expands PrivateLink’s reach beyond load-balanced applications to broader network resource access.
