VPC Endpoints

A VPC endpoint is a secure connection that allows your virtual network (VPC) in the cloud to directly access specific cloud services without going through the public internet. Think of it as a private tunnel or dedicated pathway between your network and services like storage or databases. This setup enhances security, reduces latency, and can improve performance by avoiding internet-based routes, ensuring sensitive data stays within a controlled environment. VPC endpoints are useful when you want seamless, protected access to cloud resources without exposing traffic externally.
