Why VPC endpoint instead of only Gateway endpoints? S3 also supports the latter.

[Leonard S]

Like to know why gateway endpoints must be used for the question below and why.

Both types are apparently supported.

Hello Leonard,

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, both Gateway endpoint and Interface endpoint now support Amazon S3. Before, only Gateway endpoint is supported. We’ll tweak the scenario to highlight when to select one type over the other.

Let me know if you have additional questions.

I think then the answer, why we need to select ‘Gateway endpoints’ for the original question then boils down to the fact that option2, states ‘aws:sourcevpc’ and not ‘aws:sourcevpce’. So option 4, is still the ‘most’ correct answer. But yes, agree, I think the questions should be tweaked to reflect clearly the choice of gateway endpoint over the vpc endpoint one. Not sure if this sort of question will come out in the exam.
