At SphereClouds, we are committed to providing you with the latest advancements in cloud computing. Today, we are excited to announce the launch of Amazon EC2 Instance Connect (EIC) Endpoint, a powerful new feature that revolutionizes how you connect to your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) resources.
Traditionally, connecting to an Amazon EC2 instance within your Amazon VPC over the Internet involved multiple steps, such as connecting to a bastion host with a public IP address and using port forwarding. However, with the introduction of EIC Endpoint, this process becomes much simpler and more secure.
EIC Endpoint eliminates the need for an Internet Gateway (IGW) in your VPC, a public IP address on your resource, or a bastion host. Instead, it provides a secure and direct connection to your instances and other VPC resources from the Internet. This innovative solution combines identity-based and network-based access controls, ensuring the highest level of isolation, control, and logging to meet your organization's security requirements.
One of the key benefits of EIC Endpoint is the reduction in operational overhead for your organization. With this feature, your administrator no longer needs to maintain and patch bastion hosts for connectivity. EIC Endpoint seamlessly integrates with the AWS Management Console and AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), allowing you to leverage your existing tools, such as PuTTY and OpenSSH, for a familiar and efficient workflow.
In this blog post, we will provide you with an overview of how the EIC Endpoint works and the robust security controls it offers. We will guide you through the process of creating your first EIC Endpoint and demonstrate how you can securely SSH to an instance from the Internet using the EIC Endpoint.
Stay tuned for our upcoming articles, where we will delve deeper into the capabilities of EIC Endpoint and explore advanced use cases to help you unlock the full potential of this powerful feature.
