AWS customers can now securely and cost-effectively connect to Datadog services from any AWS region without the need for complex networking configurations. Cross-region PrivateLink simplifies management, enhances security, and reduces costs compared to traditional solutions like VPC peering, NAT gateways, and AWS Transit Gateways. This approach also makes it easier to confidently monitor multi-region workloads while adhering to data privacy standards, especially in regulated industries such as healthcare and finance. By using cross-region PrivateLink, organizations can reduce costs across networking, storage, and ingestion while maintaining full control and visibility into their observability data. To set up AWS cross-region PrivateLink for Datadog, customers need to follow simple steps, including creating a PrivateLink VPC endpoint, configuring the interface endpoint, and testing the connection.
