VNS3 NAT Gateway
VNS3 NATe provides Network Address Translation (NAT) functions at a significantly cheaper price than AWS NAT Gateways. NATe allows instances in a private AWS subnet to connect to services outside your VPC but prevents external services/devices from initiating a connection with your instances. Replace your existing NAT Gateways to save money, increase control, and have access to better support.
Be a FinOps Hero and Reduce Your AWS Cloud Bill
Each cloud vendor charges for every GB of data processed by your NAT Gateway. If your network sees a lot of data, this can get expensive. With VNS3, you only pay for the virtual machine runtime.

Same NAT, Reduced Cost
If you use AWS NAT Gateways, you are overpaying. AWS charges a Data Processing fee (typically $0.045 / GB) on top of the already expensive runtime cost for the AWS NAT Gateway. It’s a cloud tax that you don’t have to pay with VNS3 NATe.
