AWS Security Token Service is a web service that enables you to request temporary, limited-privilege credentials you can use to access your AWS resources. By using Security Token Service with Amazon VPC endpoints, you can now keep credential-related, encrypted communication within the AWS network and help meet your compliance and regulatory requirements to limit public internet connectivity. You can also use VPC endpoint policies to control access to Security Token Service resources in your network.
