AWS efs documentation change

Service: efs · 2025-05-16 · Documentation low

File: efs/latest/ug/efs-vpc-endpoints.md

Summary

Updated documentation links and section titles related to VPC endpoints and security groups. Changed references from general VPC guides to more specific PrivateLink documentation pages. Removed redundant policy reference link. Renamed 'Security considerations' section to 'Using VPC security groups'.

Security assessment

The changes primarily update documentation links and refine section titles. The rename to 'Using VPC security groups' emphasizes security group configuration for network access control, which is a security best practice. However, there is no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability or security incident.

-Interface VPC endpoints are powered by AWS PrivateLink, a feature that enables private communication between AWS services using private IP addresses. To use AWS PrivateLink, create an interface VPC endpoint for Amazon EFS in your VPC using the Amazon VPC console, API, or CLI. Doing this creates an elastic network interface in your subnet with a private IP address that serves Amazon EFS API requests. You can also access a VPC endpoint from on-premises environments or from other VPCs using AWS VPN, AWS Direct Connect, or VPC peering. To learn more, see [Accessing Services Through AWS PrivateLink](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/what-is-amazon-vpc.html#what-is-privatelink) in the _Amazon VPC User Guide_.
