How to manage Amazon S3 access with VPC?

How to create access point for Amazon S3?
It has a network origin of VPC, and Amazon S3 rejects any request made to the Access Point that doesn’t originate from that VPC. In the Amazon S3 console, navigate to the bucket you want to allow access from your VPCs. Choose Access points. Choose Create access point. Give a name to the Access Point.
To optionally further restrict access to a shared Amazon S3 bucket, you can use a VPC endpoint policy to require applications use the S3 Access Point through a specified VPC. S3 Access Points have an AWS ARN that includes the account number and Region identifier, which can be used in the VPC endpoint policy.
