VPC BPA basics - Amazon Virtual Private Cloud

VPC BPA basics

This section covers important details about VPC BPA, including which services support it and how you can work with it.

Regional availability

VPC BPA is available in all commercial AWS Regions including GovCloud and China Regions.

In this guide, you'll also find information about using Network Access Analyzer and Reachability Analyzer with VPC BPA. Note that Network Access Analyzer and Reachability Analyzer are not available in all commercial Regions. For information about the regional availability of Network Access Analyzer and Reachability Analyzer, see Limitations in the Network Access Analyzer Guide and Considerations in the Reachability Analyzer Guide.

AWS service impact and support

The following resources and services support VPC BPA and traffic to these services and resources is impacted by VPC BPA:

Traffic related to private connectivity, such as traffic for the following services and resources, is not blocked or impacted by VPC BPA:

Important

VPC BPA limitations

VPC BPA ingress-only mode is not supported in Local Zones (LZs) where NAT gateways and egress-only internet gateways are not allowed.

Control access to VPC BPA with an IAM policy

For examples of IAM policies that allow/deny access to the VPC BPA feature, see Block public access to VPCs and subnets.

Enable VPC BPA bidirectional mode for your account

VPC BPA bidirectional mode blocks all traffic to and from internet gateways and egress-only internet gateways in this Region (except for excluded VPCs and subnets). For more information about exclusions, see Create and delete exclusions.

Important

We strongly recommend that you thoroughly review the workloads that require Internet access prior to enabling VPC BPA in your production accounts.

Note

AWS Management Console
  1. Open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/.

  2. On the left navigation pane, choose Settings.

  3. Choose Edit public access settings.

  4. Choose Turn on block public access and Bidirectional, then choose Save changes.

  5. Wait for the Status to change to On. It may take a few minutes for VPC BPA settings to take effect and the status to be updated.

VPC BPA Bidirectional mode is now on.

AWS CLI
  1. Turn on VPC BPA:

    aws ec2 --region us-east-2 modify-vpc-block-public-access-options --internet-gateway-block-mode block-bidirectional

    It may take a few minutes for VPC BPA settings to take effect and the status to be updated.

  2. View the status of VPC BPA:

    aws ec2 --region us-east-2 describe-vpc-block-public-access-options
Change VPC BPA mode to ingress-only

VPC BPA ingress-only mode blocks all internet traffic to the VPCs in this Region (except for VPCs or subnets which are excluded). Only traffic to and from NAT gateways and egress-only internet gateways is allowed because these gateways only allow outbound connections to be established.

AWS Management Console
  1. Open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/.

  2. On the left navigation pane, choose Settings.

  3. Choose Edit public access settings.

  4. Change the direction to Ingress-only.

  5. Save the changes and wait for the status to be updated. It may take a few minutes for VPC BPA settings to take effect and the status to be updated.

AWS CLI
  1. Modify the VPC BPA block direction:

    aws ec2 --region us-east-2 modify-vpc-block-public-access-options --internet-gateway-block-mode block-ingress

    It may take a few minutes for VPC BPA settings to take effect and the status to be updated.

  2. View the status of VPC BPA:

    aws ec2 --region us-east-2 describe-vpc-block-public-access-options
Create and delete exclusions

A VPC BPA exclusion is a mode that can be applied to a single VPC or subnet that exempts it from the account’s VPC BPA mode and will allow bidirectional or egress-only access. You can create VPC BPA exclusions for VPCs and subnets even when VPC BPA is not enabled on the account to ensure that there is no traffic disruption to the exclusions when VPC BPA is turned on. An exclusion for a VPC automatically applies to all subnets in the VPC.

You can create a maximum of 50 exclusions. For information about requesting a limit increase, see VPC BPA exclusions per account in Amazon VPC quotas.

AWS Management Console
  1. Open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/.

  2. On the left navigation pane, choose Settings.

  3. In the Block public access tab, under Exclusions, do one of the following:

    • To delete an exclusion, select the exclusion and then choose Actions > Delete exclusions.

    • To create an exclusion, choose Create exclusions and continue with the next steps.

  4. Choose a block direction:

    • Bidirectional: Allows all internet traffic to and from the excluded VPCs and subnets.

    • Egress-only: Allows outbound internet traffic from the excluded VPCs and subnets. Blocks inbound internet traffic to the excluded VPCs and subnets. This setting applies when VPC BPA is set to Bidirectional.

  5. Choose a VPC or subnet.

  6. Choose Create exclusions.

  7. Wait for the Exclusion status to change to Active. You may need to refresh the exclusion table to see the change.

The exclusion has been created.

AWS CLI
  1. Modify the exclusion allow direction:

    aws ec2 --region us-east-2 create-vpc-block-public-access-exclusion --subnet-id subnet-id --internet-gateway-exclusion-mode allow-bidirectional
  2. It can take time for the exclusion status to update. To view the status of the exclusion:

    aws ec2 --region us-east-2 describe-vpc-block-public-access-exclusions --exclusion-ids exclusion-id
Enable VPC BPA at the Organization level

If you are using AWS Organizations to manage accounts in your organization, you can use an AWS Organizations declarative policy to enforce VPC BPA on the accounts in the organization. For more information about the VPC BPA declarative policy, see Supported declarative policies in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
