Understanding AWS NAT gateway charges and how AlterNAT can reduce your data transfer costs

Описание: AWS NAT gateway data processing charges can significantly inflate your cloud costs, an issue often overlooked by AWS customers. FinOps expert Sam Clark discusses these charges, explaining that NAT gateways incur a high data processing fee (about 4.5 cents per gigabyte) on top of standard data transfer costs.

He also introduces AlterNAT, an open-source solution using EC2 instances to create a managed NAT setup. This alternative approach can save up to 45% on data transfer costs for high-volume users, potentially reducing monthly expenses from around $1000 to $500 for 10 terabytes of monthly traffic.
