AWS PrivateLink is especially useful when you need to provide secure and private access to services hosted on AWS . Advantages include simplified network management without the need for IP address management, access control, or firewall rules; reduced data-exfiltration risk; and lower costs due to minimized data transfer charges by keeping traffic within the AWS network.
