      That’s probably the best course of action. You’ll want identity based authentication/authorization soon enough anyways.

        Wouldn’t that increase bandwidth charges, among other things?

          no. https://aws.amazon.com/vpc/faqs/#Billing

          Data transfer charges are not incurred when accessing Amazon Web Services, such as Amazon S3, via your VPC’s Internet gateway.

        It’s also worth noting that VPC Endpoints to AWS Services keep routing internal to AWS, providing latency improvements (especially for p99 latency).
