Ensure VPC endpoints are used for AWS services
VPC endpoints should be used to access AWS services privately without traversing the public internet.
Security Impact
Without VPC endpoints, traffic to AWS services traverses the internet or requires NAT gateways, increasing exposure and costs.
How to Remediate
Create VPC endpoints for commonly used AWS services like S3, DynamoDB, and ECR. Update route tables to use endpoints.
