AWS NAT Gateway is essential for managing traffic from private subnets, but it can silently inflate your cloud costs through data processing fees. Every AWS service call—whether to S3, DynamoDB, or other services—incurs a $0.045/GB charge when routed through NAT Gateway.
Each AWS service call from private subnets could be adding unnecessary NAT Gateway charges ($0.045/GB) on top of standard data transfer fees. With 50TB monthly traffic, that's $2,250 in avoidable costs. Analysis of how VPC endpoints eliminate this double-charging, with performance implications and implementation patterns.
As your startup scales on AWS, managing access control becomes crucial. This blog post provides a roadmap for securing your cloud environment. You'll learn about the limitations of basic IAM users, the benefits of centralized identity management, and the capabilities of AWS IAM Identity Center with Just-In-Time access.
From mere labelling in 2010 to the sophisticated tagging services of today, AWS tagging has seen a rapid evolution. These updates have provided users with additional functionality, greater control over their resources, and more effective monitoring, auditing, and management of their AWS infrastructure.
It is critical to understand that almost anything in the cloud can assume an identity. Resources can have direct and indirect relationships, some of which are not obvious.
