The error message explicitly indicates a problem with the Amazon S3 VPC gateway endpoint. A VPC gateway endpoint for S3 functions by adding a specific route to the VPC's route tables. This route directs traffic destined for the S3 service prefix list to the gateway endpoint (vpce-xxxxxxxx) instead of an internet gateway. If the route table associated with the subnet where the AWS Glue job runs is missing this route, the job cannot establish a connection to S3 via the endpoint, resulting in a connectivity failure. Therefore, verifying the route table configuration is the correct and most direct action to resolve the issue.

1. AWS VPC User Guide

Gateway endpoints: "When you create a gateway endpoint

you specify the VPC route tables that are used to access the service from the VPC. A route is automatically added to each of the route tables that you specify... The route has a destination that is the prefix list for the service and a target that is the gateway endpoint." This confirms the route table is the mechanism for endpoint connectivity.

2. AWS Glue Developer Guide

Setting up a VPC to connect to data stores: In the section "Step 3: Create a VPC endpoint for Amazon S3

" the documentation states: "If your job accesses Amazon S3

you can configure a VPC endpoint... When you configure the endpoint

be sure to select the route table for the subnet that you configured...". This directly links the Glue job's subnet

its associated route table

and the S3 endpoint.

3. AWS Knowledge Center

How do I resolve AWS Glue connectivity issues with a VPC endpoint?: This resource often guides users to "Confirm that the route table associated with the subnet has a route to the Amazon S3 VPC endpoint." This reinforces that the route table is the primary point of failure for this type of error.
