S3 VPC Endpoint Gateway¶
To minimize costs for data traffic, we route S3 traffic through a VPC Endpoint Gateway. This gateway routes all traffic to and from S3 through AWS's internal network so there are no S3 data egress costs which saves a considerable amount of money. By default, this feature is enabled but if you require private access to S3 in your solution, you should disable this feature and implement AWS PrivateLink in your solution.
The following relevant Terraform variables are available:
| Name | Default | Description |
