Ah, the good old VPC NAT Gateway.

I was lucky to have experienced all of the same mistakes for free (ex-Amazon employee). My manager just got an email saying the costs had gone through the roof and asked me to look into it.

Feel bad for anyone that actually needs to cough up money for these dark patterns.

Personally I don't even understand why NAT gateways are so prevalent. What you want most of the time is just an Internet gateway.

Only works in public subnets, which isn't what you want most of the time.

Yep and have to pay for public IPs, which can become quite costly on it's own. Can't wait for v6 to be here.

		An IP costs $50, or $0.50 per month if leasing.
