AWS vpc: Clarify Route 53 naming and DNS resolution setting for resource gateway

Service: vpc · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: vpc/latest/privatelink/create-resource-gateway.md · Type: network

Summary

Changes 'Route53 private hosted zone' to 'Route 53 private hosted zone' and rewrites the instruction to explicitly say to set 'DNS resolution' to IN_VPC when using a private DNS server or domain-name targets in a Route 53 private hosted zone.

Security assessment

The edit is a wording/product-name clarification that also names the DNS resolution mode (IN_VPC) for resolving private DNS targets; DNS resolution mode has indirect security impact (internal DNS resolution scope) but the change documents configuration rather than addressing a vulnerability.

Evidence

+    1. If you are using a private DNS server or your domain-name targets are in a Route 53 private hosted zone, set DNS resolution to IN_VPC.
