PrivateLinkPrivate connectivity to other AWS services or SaaS

Standard VPC layout (3-tier)

VPC: 10.0.0.0/16
  ├── Public subnet A  10.0.1.0/24  (ALB, NAT Gateway)
  ├── Public subnet B  10.0.2.0/24  (ALB multi-AZ)
  ├── Private subnet A 10.0.11.0/24 (Lambda, ECS tasks, EC2)
  ├── Private subnet B 10.0.12.0/24 (multi-AZ)
  ├── Data subnet A    10.0.21.0/24 (RDS, ElastiCache)
  └── Data subnet B    10.0.22.0/24 (multi-AZ)

Private subnets reach internet via NAT Gateway in the public subnet. Data subnets have no internet route — accessible only from private subnets.
