Evading Exorbitant Expense of Endpoints - Centralized VPC Design

Discover strategies for managing the high costs of Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) endpoints in this 12-minute conference talk from PlatformCon 2024. Explore the architectural decisions behind endpoint implementation on cloud platforms while balancing financial considerations. Learn about the benefits of VPC endpoints in enterprise and regulated environments, particularly for connecting to AWS public endpoints without requiring an egress path. Understand the cost implications of the flat hourly pricing model, especially as AWS accounts proliferate. Gain insights into deploying VPC endpoints as a shared service using a centralized hub-spoke model to control expenses. Master key concepts including the architectural design of centralized endpoints, DNS resolution from spoke accounts, and VPC layout design for core shared services.
