VPC access policy for S3 buckets

Asked by At

I have a VPC, with a VPC endpoint that is associated with a particular route table, say RTB1. Subnet1 uses RTB1 while Subnet2 doesn't.

If I attach a policy to the S3 bucket, specifying the vpc-ID as in the policy below:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Id": "Policy1415115909152",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "Access-to-specific-VPC-only",
      "Principal": "*",
      "Action": "s3:*",
      "Effect": "Deny",
      "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::my_secure_bucket",
                   "arn:aws:s3:::my_secure_bucket/*"],
      "Condition": {
        "StringNotEquals": {
          "aws:sourceVpc": "vpc-111bbb22"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Will this allow instances in Subnet2 to access the S3 bucket? Even though those instances are not routed through RBT1, which has the vpc-endpoint entry?

Here is a summary of the behavior:

Scenario: Assume there is 
- 1 VPC, vpc-111bbb22 
- 3 subnets 
    *subnet-1111 behind s3 vpc endpoint vpce-1111, 
    *subnet-2222 behind s3 vpce-2222 and 
    *subnet-3333 which is not associated with any vpc endpoint. 
- 1 S3 bucket named my_secure_bucket (NOTE: this bucket has to be in the same region as the VPC/VPC endpoints)

Using the above bucket policy, the accessibility is as follows:
subnet-1111 - can access
subnet-2222 - can access
subnet-3333 - cannot access
