I see why CDF are eliminated. However, I wasn't understanding why A was required, until I found the following: "S3 buckets Your VPC endpoint policy must allow access to at least the following Amazon S3 buckets: The S3 buckets listed in SSM Agent communications with AWS managed S3 buckets. The S3 buckets used by Patch Manager for patch baseline operations in your AWS Region. These buckets contain the code that is retrieved and run on instances by the patch baseline service. Each AWS Region has its own patch baseline operations buckets from which the code is retrieved when a patch baseline document is run. If the code can't be downloaded, the patch baseline command will fail." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/setup-create-vpc.html

ABE as NAT = Internet which isn't allowed, so CDF are eliminated automatically
