Ensure Redshift clusters have enhanced VPC routing enabled

Enhanced VPC routing forces all COPY and UNLOAD traffic through VPC, allowing security controls like VPC endpoints, security groups, and network ACLs.

Security Impact

Without enhanced VPC routing, data transfer bypasses VPC security controls and monitoring capabilities.

How to Remediate

Enable enhanced VPC routing in cluster settings. Ensure VPC has proper routing configuration for S3 and other AWS services.
