Recent changes made to the console might affect your access if all of the following conditions are met:

  • You access Amazon Web Services Management Console from a network that is configured to reach Amazon service endpoints through VPC endpoints.

  • You restrict access to Amazon services by either using aws:SourceIp or aws:SourceVpc global condition key in your IAM policies.
