Changes

AWS App Runner now supports private services. By default, App Runner services are accessible publicly over the internet. Now, with private services, you can restrict network access to your internal websites, APIs, and applications to originate from within your VPC.

Private services in App Runner leverages AWS PrivateLink Interface VPC Endpoints, which provides highly available and scalable networking technology. You can specify which Amazon VPC you want your App Runner service to be accessible in by passing an Interface VPC Endpoint. You can also add security groups that function as a virtual firewall to your Interface VPC Endpoints to further restrict network traffic.

For more information, see Enabling Private endpoint for incoming traffic in the AWS App Runner Developer Guide.
