Final answer:
VPC PrivateLink uses an Interface endpoint to allow private connectivity between VPCs, AWS services, and on-premises applications without the need for public IPs. The correct answer is A) Interface endpoint.
Step-by-step explanation:
VPC PrivateLink is a networking service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that allows you to privately connect your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to supported AWS services, services hosted by other AWS accounts (VPC endpoint services), and supported AWS Marketplace partner services. Instead of using public IPs, VPC PrivateLink provides private connectivity between VPCs, AWS services, and on-premises applications, securely on the Amazon network.
The correct answer to the question is A) Interface endpoint. VPC PrivateLink involves creating an elastic network interface in your VPC with a private IP address that serves as an entry point for traffic destined to the service. This differs from a Gateway endpoint, which is another type of endpoint offered by AWS for services such as Amazon S3 and DynamoDB, where traffic is targeted to a gateway and then routed to the required service.
