Hello vinodache,
Thanks for your feedback. Yes. This question needs to be updated. Without any further conditions in the scenario, both the VPC interface endpoint and gateway endpoint is a valid answer, so we’ll need to work on that.
In General, how do we decide to choose between the VPC endpoint and gateway endpoint for S3 if both these options are available?
>> One of the key factors is cost. You don’t pay for gateway endpoints (only for data transfer), but you are charged per hour for every provisioned VPC interface endpoint. Also, Gate endpoints are scoped within a region, meaning it does not allow access from another AWS region. On the other hand, you can reach an interface endpoint from another region.
I hope this is helpful. Let me know if you have any other queries.
