Amazon EC2 Fleet now supports a new encryption attribute for Attribute-Based Instance Type Selection (ABIS). Customers can use the RequireEncryptionInTransit parameter to specifically launch instance types that support encryption-in-transit, in addition to specifying resource requirements like vCPU cores and memory.
The new encryption attribute addresses critical compliance needs for customers who use VPC Encryption Controls in enforced mode and require all network traffic to be encrypted in transit. By combining encryption requirements with other instance attributes in ABIS, customers can achieve instance type diversification for better capacity fulfillment while meeting their security needs. Additionally, the GetInstanceTypesFromInstanceRequirements (GITFIR) allows you to preview which instance types you might be allocated based on your specified encryption requirements.
This feature is available in all AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
To get started, set the RequireEncryptionInTransit parameter to true in InstanceRequirements when calling the CreateFleet or GITFIR APIs. For more information, refer to the user guides for EC2 Fleet and GITFIR.
