Why
When the Fargate Tasks need to download anything from S3, the traffic will currently pass through the NAT Gateway. This generates extra costs.
VPC Endpoint Gateways are free. They allow all subnets in a VPC to communicate directly with the targetted service (e.g. S3) at not costs and with higher performances.
Who Benefits?
Clients with lower cloud costs.
Users with faster traffic between S3 and the tasks.
