AWS launched VPC Encryption Controls, enabling customers to monitor and enforce encryption for traffic within and between VPCs. The feature operates in two modes: monitor mode for visibility into unencrypted traffic, and enforce mode that requires Nitro-based infrastructure and drops unencrypted traffic. It helps organizations meet compliance requirements like HIPAA, PCI DSS, and FedRAMP. The service costs $0.15/hour per non-empty VPC (approximately $110/month) after a free trial period ending March 1, 2026, and is currently available in select AWS regions.
