@ -1285,6 +1285,7 @@ API Gateway
- 🔸API Gateway only supports encrypted (https) endpoints, and does not support unencrypted HTTP. (This is probably a good thing.)
- 🔸API Gateway endpoints are always public, i.e. internet facing, and there is no mechanism to build private endpoints, e.g. for internal use on a [VPC](#vpcs-network-security-and-security-groups) but endpoints and their related resources can, optionally, [require authentication](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/apigateway-control-access-to-api.html).
- 🔸API Gateway doesnt support multi-region deployments for high availability. It is a service that is deployed in a single region but comes with a global endpoint that is served from AWS edge locations (similar to a CloudFront distribution). You cannot have multiple API Gateways with the same hostname in different AWS regions and use Route 53 to distribute the traffic. More in [this forum post](https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=735342&#735342).
- 🔸Integration timeout: All of the various integration types (eg: Lambda, HTTP) for API Gateway have timeouts, as described [here](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/limits.html#api-gateway-limits). Unlike some limits, these timeouts can't be increased.
