In AWS, VPC endpoints allow you to connect your VPC resources (like instances in private subnet with no route to a NAT) to supported AWS services, like S3, without going through the internet. There are two types of VPC endpoints, [...] endpoints and [...] endpoints. <--two different occulsions

Interface endpoints and Gateway endpoints

^^ Interface Endpoints are a Network interface with Private IP that allow you to talk to certain AWS resouces (like Config, SNS, etc)
^^^ Gateway Endpoints are gateways that allow you to talk to S3 and DynamoDB
^^^^ You create both types of VPC Endpoints via the "Endpoints" section of the VPC console (during this creation process a route is added to your specified subnet Route Table to route traffic from your VPC subnet(s) bound for the said AWS service (like S3) to the Interface/Gateway (and the Interface/Gateway endpoint then connects with PrivateLink to the service without going over the internet).
