Which of the following are benefits of VPC endpoints?
(Choose two.)
A VPC endpoint makes private connections possible between an on-premises environment and supported AWS services.
A VPC endpoint applies encryption to a connection that would be unencrypted otherwise.
A VPC endpoint makes private connections possible between a VPC and supported AWS services.
A VPC endpoint does not require an internet gateway, virtual private gateway, NAT device, VPN connection, or AWS Direct Connect connection.
A VPC endpoint makes public connections possible for applications. Instances in the VPC do not require public IP addresses to communicate with the internet.
Explanations:
A VPC endpoint does not create connections between an on-premises environment and AWS services; it operates within the AWS cloud infrastructure.
While VPC endpoints can support encrypted connections, they do not inherently apply encryption; encryption depends on the specific AWS service and how it’s configured.
A VPC endpoint enables private connections between a VPC and supported AWS services without needing public IP addresses.
A VPC endpoint allows communication with AWS services without requiring an internet gateway, NAT, or VPN connections, as it provides a private link.
VPC endpoints do not enable public connections; instead, they facilitate private connections within AWS, eliminating the need for public IP addresses to access AWS services.
