AWS DataSync now works with shared Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). You can run transfer tasks from a subnet that is shared with other accounts using AWS Resource Access Manager. This means a single VPC endpoint in the owning account can serve many accounts, saving IP addresses and cutting administrative work. The feature is available in all standard AWS regions and works with both Enhanced and Basic mode agents.

## The facts

- Launch date: 29 Sep 2026
- Supported in all AWS regions except the Secret Regions

## Why it matters

It lets companies centralize networking while simplifying and lowering the cost of data transfers across accounts.
