You’ll need a vpc subnet connected “something” with outbound access.
Natgw and nat instance are about all there is
or something crazy like a site to site vpn attached to your vgw and a server/firewall outside of aws/ec2 connected to the internet acting like a router…?
Thanks, figured as much. AWS hasn't lowered the price of NAT gateways in (ever) I think. It's a bit absurd seeing as the dramatic price reduction of Graviton based instances and such. NAT gateways should be like 1/2 or 1/3 the current cost.
Fck-nat is great, and I'm running it for the exact same reason that the NAT Gateway is expensive for my hobby project. I configured it with an auto scaling group to bring it back up if the instance dies. The instance doubles as a bastion host as well.
Awesome, will look at deploying fck-nat.dev. Love the name. So absurd AWS hasn’t updated their NAT instance AMI since 2018 and running Amazon Linux v1 which is end of life.
If cost is the main issue, could you route all instances through a single nat, instead of one per AZ?

I can only recommend fck-nat.dev as an alternative to aws’s own nat instances.

The ideal answer is IPv6 subnet with an egress only internet gateway
