<a name="create-vpc-endpoint"></a>

You can create an AWS Organizations endpoint in your VPC using the Amazon VPC Console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) or CloudFormation.

For information about creating and configuring an endpoint using the Amazon VPC console or the AWS CLI, see [Create a VPC endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/create-interface-endpoint.html#create-interface-endpoint-aws) in the *Amazon VPC User Guide*. For information about creating and configuring an endpoint using CloudFormation, see the [AWS::EC2::VPCEndpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-ec2-vpcendpoint.html) resource in the *AWS CloudFormation User Guide*.

When you create an AWS Organizations endpoint, use the following as the service name:

```
com.amazonaws.us-east-1.organizations
```

If you require FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules when accessing AWS, use the following AWS Organizations FIPS service name:

```
com.amazonaws.us-east-1.organizations-fips
```
