S3 Access Point

A point used to share data from S3 buckets in AWS with a specific app that is allowed to have specific Permissions. ChatGPT also provided the helpful info:

  • Purpose: S3 Access Points simplify managing data access at scale for applications using shared data sets in S3. They are named network endpoints attached to buckets that you can use to perform S3 operations (like retrieving and saving data).
  • Functionality: Each access point has distinct permissions and network controls and supports both Virtual Private Cloud and internet-based access. You can create access points with specific permissions, which makes managing access to your buckets more flexible and scalable.
  • Use Cases: Suitable for environments with complex access patterns, where different applications or tenants require different permissions. They are also beneficial in multi-account setups within AWS Organizations.
