You should follow the instructions in [Configure an S3 compatible object storage provider for uploads](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-an-s3-compatible-object-storage-provider-for-uploads/148916) and/or [Set up file and image uploads to S3](https://meta.discourse.org/t/set-up-file-and-image-uploads-to-s3/7229) and put those settings in your yml file rather than in the database/UX.

You don’t need to configure an endpoint for AWS. You do want to configure a CDN.
