[Amazon DynamoDB](https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/) is a serverless, NoSQL, fully managed database with single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-3 is a US and Canadian government standard that specifies the security requirements for cryptographic modules that protect sensitive information. Today, we are announcing the general availability of FIPS 140-3 interface endpoint support for DynamoDB and FIPS 140-3 public endpoint support for DynamoDB Streams. You can use AWS PrivateLink with DynamoDB for regulated workloads that require a secure connection using a FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic module. FIPS-compliant endpoints help companies contracting with the federal government meet the FIPS security requirement to encrypt sensitive data in supported Regions. The new capability is available in [AWS Regions](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) in the United States and Canada, and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
