To establish a Private Link connection, the service consumer needs to create and maintain a VPC endpoint. The endpoint works as the access point with endpoint service of the service provider. This document describes how to create an endpoint.
Prerequisites
(Service consumer) Create a VPC and subnet.
(Service provider) Create an endpoint service.
Obtain the service ID of the peer endpoint.
For VPCs under different accounts, obtain the UIN of the peer account.
