Amazon SQS now supports FIPS 140-3 enabled interface VPC endpoint

Amazon SQS now supports VPCE endpoints that have been validated under the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3 program. You can now easily use AWS PrivateLink with Amazon SQS for regulated workloads that require a secure connection using a FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic module.

FIPS compliant endpoints help companies contracting with the US federal government meet the FIPS security requirement to encrypt sensitive data in supported regions. To create an interface VPC endpoint that connects to an Amazon SQS FIPS endpoint, see Internetwork traffic privacy in Amazon SQS.

The new capability is available in all AWS Commercial Regions in the United States and Canada. To learn more about FIPS 140-3 at AWS, visit FIPS 140-3 Compliance.
