AWS PrivateLink has long been the go-to solution for private connectivity of services within a region. Until recently, sharing services across regions required VPC peering or transit gateways — and sometimes even the creation of “outpost” VPCs to serve as transit VPCs. All that changes with the native Cross-Region PrivateLink solution. 1 — The “Gymnastics” of Terraform‑Based Inter‑Region PrivateLink Before December 2024, if you wanted a private interface endpoint in Region B for a service hosted in Region A, you have two options: ...

To address this limitation, inter-Region VPC peering offers a viable solution.
