Introducing Private Endpoints for Pinecone serverless

Pinecone has introduced Private Endpoints for AWS PrivateLink, now in public preview, allowing organizations to connect securely to Pinecone serverless while keeping their data traffic private within their VPC (virtual private cloud). This feature enhances security for over 20,000 organizations using Pinecone to store sensitive data by ensuring that traffic does not traverse the public internet, thus reducing exposure to potential misconfigurations and unauthorized access. The setup involves creating an Amazon VPC endpoint in a specific region and authorizing it via the Pinecone console, allowing data plane traffic to route securely over the AWS network. Each project can have up to ten Private Endpoints, and while currently available for AWS, support for GCP and Azure is expected later in the year.
