Set Up a Private Endpoint for Online Archives

Prerequisites

1. Have either the Project Owner (GROUP_ATLAS_ADMIN) or higher role in Atlas.

2. Have an AWS user account with an IAM user policy that grants permissions to create, modify, describe, and delete endpoints. For more information on controlling the use of interface endpoints, see the AWS Documentation.

3. Install the AWS CLI.

4. If you have not already done so, create your VPC and EC2 instances in AWS. See the AWS documentation for guidance.

Set Up Private Endpoint Through the User Interface

You can create a new private endpoint or add an existing private endpoint for the online archives through your Atlas User Interface. To set up the private endpoint:

Set Up Private Endpoint Through the API

To configure a private endpoint for an online archive from the API, send a POST request with the private endpoint ID to the privateNetworkSettings endpoint.

• If the endpoint ID already exists and there is no change to the comment associated with the endpoint, Atlas makes no change to the endpoint ID list.

• If the endpoint ID already exists and there is a change to the associated comment, Atlas updates the comment value only in the endpoint ID list.

• If the endpoint ID doesn't exist, Atlas appends the new endpoint to the list of endpoints in the endpoint ID list.

To learn more about the syntax and options, see API.

Set Up Private Endpoint Through the Atlas CLI

To create a new online archive private endpoint for the project you specify using the Atlas CLI, run the following command:

atlas privateEndpoints onlineArchive aws create [options]

To learn more about the command syntax and parameters, see the Atlas CLI documentation for atlas privateEndpoints onlineArchive aws create.
