Private APIs can be now created in the Amazon API Gateway

With the latest update, you can now create Private APIs in the Amazon API Gateway which can be accessed only from the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud by using the VPC endpoints. API Traffic can be restricted by using the Private APIs so that it can stay within the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud separated from the public internet. REST APIs can be also be exposed to security with the Private APIs within the Virtual Private Cloud or to the connected data centers through AWS Direct Connect. Resource Policies help the customers to enable the cross-account access and you can restrict the access to the chosen Amazon VPCs and VPC endpoints. You need to first create the VPC endpoint for the Amazon API Gateway within the Amazon VPCs. With the help of the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface or SDKs you can then create the Private APIs.
