Introducing PrivateLink Support for Enterprise

Network topology in the cloud can become complex, particularly when transmitting data to external SaaS providers, but AWS PrivateLink offers a streamlined solution for AWS infrastructures. Honeycomb has introduced an AWS PrivateLink endpoint for enterprise customers, enabling telemetry data to remain within the AWS network, thus reducing attack vectors and eliminating the need to configure outbound egress firewalls for sending data. This approach can simplify network topology further by potentially replacing NAT gateways, which can also lead to cost savings due to AWS's data processing charge on traffic through NAT gateways. Additionally, using PrivateLink endpoints with other vendors or AWS services can result in aggregated data transfer discounts, as AWS bills this combined data transfer and provides discounts as the volume of data increases. There is no extra cost for using AWS PrivateLink, and interested enterprise customers are encouraged to consult the documentation and contact their Customer Success representative for setup assistance.
