How AWS NAT gateway costs break down into hourly, data processing and transfer charges
An AWS NAT gateway lets servers without public IP addresses reach the internet, and its bill combines an hourly charge with a per-gigabyte processing fee. Pricing differs by Region, with us-east-1 and Frankfurt rates given as examples in the article. AWS bills every provisioned hour, and running a gateway in each Availability Zone for production multiplies that baseline cost. Internet-bound traffic also incurs standard data transfer charges, and cross-zone traffic adds a smaller fee, so placing data-heavy servers in their gateway's zone helps. The article also recommends a free S3 gateway endpoint to bypass gateway charges for same-Region S3 traffic.
