Applies to

  • NetApp Console
  • Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO)
  • Amazon Web Services S3

Issue

  • Intercluster LIFs on CVO are transmitting data to a public AWS IP  to reach the S3 bucket as opposed to a private connection..

Cause

  • The CVO was not configured to us a VPN or AWS direct connect to communicate with a VPC endpoint that uses a private address.

Solution

To ensure S3 traffic remains private and does not traverse public AWS endpoints:

  1. Create an S3 VPC Gateway Endpoint in the relevant AWS region for the VPC where the CVO instance resides.
  2. Attach the VPC Gateway Endpoint to the subnet route table(s) used by the CVO instance.
  3. No need to change the FabricPool object store server DNS—the VPC Gateway Endpoint will automatically intercept S3 traffic destined for the regional S3 URL and route it privately.
  4. Verify that after the endpoint is in place, new connections from the CVO cluster to S3 use private 10.x.x.x IP addresses instead of public IPs.
