AWS AmazonS3 documentation change

Service: AmazonS3 · 2025-04-14 · Documentation low

File: AmazonS3/latest/userguide/access-points-directory-buckets.md

Summary

Updated access point naming conventions and restrictions documentation. Removed specific zone ID example, clarified Zone ID formatting, restricted support to Dedicated Local Zones, reorganized VPC restriction context, and updated section titles/links.

Security assessment

Changes focus on documentation clarity and technical accuracy rather than addressing security vulnerabilities. While VPC restriction is a security feature, this documentation update merely reorganizes existing security-related information rather than introducing new security controls or addressing vulnerabilities.

-In directory buckets, an access point name consists of a base name you provide, followed by the zoneID (AWS Local Zone), and then --xa-s3. For example, accesspointname--ZoneId--xa-s3. An example name is myaccesspoint--use1-az5--xa-s3. After you create an access point, you can't change the name or the zone. You can restrict access to specific prefixes, API actions, or a VPC.
