Amazon VPC Lattice features

Why Amazon VPC Lattice?

Amazon VPC Lattice automatically manages network connectivity and application layer routing between services across different VPCs and AWS accounts. You can operate your network without having to manage underlying network connectivity, frontend load balancers, or sidecar proxies next to every workload. Amazon VPC Lattice integrates with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to provide you the same familiar authentication and authorization capabilities when using other AWS services. By using Amazon VPC Lattice, you can choose from different compute types, such as instances, containers, and serverless, for a given service, helping you modernize from a monolithic application architecture to a microservices architecture. This capability also helps improve scalability and cost efficiency.

Amazon VPC Lattice manages all of your service-to-service connectivity, security, and monitoring needs so that you can focus on your application logic and deliver applications faster.
