VPC endpoints

Explicit private-connectivity example and service-access path.

Key points

  • VPC endpoints provide private access to supported services with type-specific route, DNS, policy, security-group, and ENI behavior.

Best-known use cases

  • D2.1, D2.2, and D5.1: move or troubleshoot a named supported-service flow on the intended private endpoint path.

What candidates often confuse it with

  • A VPC endpoint reaches a supported service privately; PrivateLink publishes selected provider services and NAT reaches public endpoints.

Key takeaway

Verify endpoint type, service and Region support, route or DNS selection, policy, security groups, and actual traffic path.
