Fair point, and valid for S3 (the topic at hand) and DynamoDB.

Other AWS services, though, don't support gateway endpoints.

~~I get the impression there are several others, too, but that one is of especial interest to me~~ Wowzers, they really are much better now:

  aws --region us-east-1 ec2 describe-vpc-endpoint-services | jq '.ServiceNames|length'
  459

If you're saying "other services should offer VPC Endpoints," I am 100% on-board. One should never have to traverse the Internet to contact any AWS control plane

Those are VPC endpoints, not gateway endpoints.

		Both interface endpoints and gateway endpoints are also called VPC endpoints. The former get distinct IP addresses in your VPC subnets while the latter get distinct entries in your VPC routing tables. They are even created with the same API call: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_C...
