After you create the endpoint service, you need to add Redis Cloud as an Allowed Principal on your [endpoint service VPC permissions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/configure-endpoint-service.html#add-remove-permissions).

1. In the Redis Cloud Console, copy the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) provided in the **Setup connectivity** section.
1. Return to the endpoint service list on the [Amazon VPC console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/). Select the endpoint service you just created.
1. Navigate to **Allow principals** tab.
1. Add the Redis Cloud ARN you copied and choose **Allow principals**.
1. Save the service name for later.
