Services
Amazon WorkSpaces Personal now allows you to route streaming traffic privately between your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and WorkSpaces virtual desktops using [AWS PrivateLink](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/what-is-privatelink.html), without the data ever traversing the public internet.
With this new capability, you can now stream your WorkSpaces through private IP addresses within your VPC, or from on-premises environments using AWS VPN or AWS Direct Connect. The feature helps you to meet your compliance requirements by keeping streaming traffic within the trusted networks.
To get started using PrivateLink with WorkSpaces, create a WorkSpaces VPC endpoint for DCV streaming protocol in the chosen Amazon VPC, then specify the VPC endpoint when creating a new WorkSpaces Personal directory or modifying an existing one. Your users will then use the VPC endpoint when they stream their DCV WorkSpaces.
The feature is available for WorkSpaces Personal running DCV protocol in all AWS Regions [where Amazon WorkSpaces is supported](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/), except China (Ningxia) Region.
You can configure this feature through the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or Amazon WorkSpaces APIs. For detailed configuration instructions and requirements, please refer to the [Amazon WorkSpaces documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/creating-streaming-vpc-endpoints.html).
