1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
establishing a private endpoint to route traffic, originating from an isolated virtual network established within a provider network, from the isolated virtual network to a publicly-accessible service implemented in the provider network, wherein the isolated virtual network comprises a plurality of compute nodes;
generating one or more routing table entries indicating that packets directed from the isolated virtual network to the publicly-accessible service are to be directed from the isolated virtual network to the private endpoint; and
transferring, in accordance with the one or more routing table entries, at least a portion of contents of a packet originating at the isolated virtual network to the publicly-accessible service without utilizing the public Internet.
