Virtual Private Cloud Quiz
An IT company has a set of EC2 Instances hosted in a VPC. They are hosted in a private subnet. These instances now need to access resources stored in an S3 bucket. The traffic should not traverse the internet. The addition of which of the following would help fulfill this requirement?
A. VPC Endpoint
B. NAT Instance
C. NAT Gateway
D. Internet Gateway
A. VPC Endpoint
A VPC endpoint enables you to privately connect your VPC to supported AWS services and VPC endpoint services powered by PrivateLink without requiring an internet gateway, NAT device, VPN connection, or AWS Direct Connect connection. Instances in your VPC do not require public IP addresses to communicate with resources in the service. Traffic between your VPC and the other service does not leave the Amazon network.
