Control Cloud Costs by Eliminating Managed NAT Gateways
In the cloud, Network Address Translation (NAT) devices are necessary for accessing the Internet from private VPC subnets. Developers utilize these NAT gateways provided by cloud service providers for a multitude of tasks. Among these are outbound tunneling to remote sources, outbound requests to fetch software updates from public package repositories, and outbound requests to pull data from third-party applications. However, many cloud cost watchdog groups highlight the cost of Managed NAT Gateway as a top 10 item to inspect in an effort to reduce creeping cloud costs. This is because organizations commonly face a myriad of challenges associated with managing these costs effectively.
Both hourly costs and data transfer costs are associated with service provider Managed NAT Gateways.
When retrieving data from remote sources, data transfer charges apply, with rates starting at $0.045 per GB and scaling up depending on the location. These charges are in addition to standard data transfer charges.

The above data transfer costs apply to ANY data transferring the NAT Gateway, whether it be intra-cloud, inter-cloud, or traffic to/from the Internet.
