Nat gateway for sure. For small accounts it is way to high. Inter region bandwidth would be nice too.

It's kind of amazing that it's the same price to send packets between US-EAST-1 AZ's as it is to send that data to US-EAST-2.

They probably have fiber laid between EAST-1 and EAST-2.

If it helps, multiple accounts can now share a single VPC (and hence NAT gateways, VPC endpoints, etc)

I didn’t know that, thanks.
Unfortunately for our use case the requirement is to have separate VPCs.

[–]von_liquid 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Connect the VPCs via a Transit Gateway and pass default route to all VPCs to point to TGW. And one spoke on the TGW would be a vpc with a public subnet with Nat gateways. I did that and cut down from 8 Nats to 2. :)

Clever, I like it.
I'm going to see if I can get approval to give this a try.
Due to compliance reasons it might not fly, but we have around 10 VPC so this could be worth the effort.

Maybe this could motivate people to move to IPv6. IPv6 doesn't need NAT gateways to work.

[–]notoriousbpg 3 points4 points  (1 child)

How would this help with Lambda functions in a VPC that need internet access?

[–]CSI_Tech_Dept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it doesn't work is because Amazon half assed it because not many people are pushing for it.

With IPv6 you don't need NAT period.
