AWS Storage Gateway User Guide
Creating a Gateway Using a VPC Endpoint
your gateway communication with AWS storage services over the public internet. Using Amazon
VPC, you can launch AWS resources in a custom virtual network. You can use a VPC to control your
network settings, such as the IP address range, subnets, route tables, and network gateways. For more
information about VPCs, see What Is Amazon VPC? in the Amazon VPC User Guide.
To use a gateway with Storage Gateway VPC endpoint in your VPC, you do the following:
• Use the VPC console to create a VPC endpoint for Storage Gateway and get the VPC endpoint ID.
• If you are activating file gateway, you need to create a VPC endpoint for Amazon S3.
• If you are activating a file gateway, you need to setup a http proxy and configure it in the file gateway
VM local console. This proxy is needed for on-premises VMWare and Microsoft HyperV hypervisor
based file gateway, The proxy is required to enable your gateway access Amazon S3 private endpoints
from outside your VPC. For information about how to configure a Http proxy, see Configuring an HTTP
Proxy (p. 230)
• Use the VPC endpoint ID to activate the gateway.
Note
Your gateway must be activated in the same region where your VPC endpoint was created.
For file gateway, the Amazon S3 that is configured for the file share must be in the same region
where you created the VPC endpoint for S3.
