What is NAT Gateway?
A NAT (Network Address Translation) gateway allows instances in a private subnet to connect to the internet or other AWS services, but prevents the internet from initiating a connection with those instances. This is commonly used to enable instances within a private network to download updates, access external APIs, or send data to the internet without exposing them directly to the public internet.
What other technologies are related to NAT Gateway?
NAT Gateway Competitor Technologies
Transit Gateway
Transit Gateway can be used to provide centralized network connectivity and NAT functionality across multiple VPCs and on-premises networks. It can act as an alternative to using NAT Gateways in each VPC.
VPC Peering
VPC Peering allows direct network connectivity between VPCs without traffic routing through the internet, which can sometimes eliminate the need for NAT Gateways for inter-VPC communication. However, it does not provide internet access.
VPN
A VPN can provide secure connectivity between on-premises networks and a VPC, and can sometimes be used instead of a NAT Gateway for accessing the internet or other AWS services. This is mainly a competitor for smaller deployments.
Palo Alto Networks
Palo Alto Networks offers virtual firewalls that can perform NAT and provide advanced security features, potentially replacing the need for an AWS NAT Gateway in some scenarios.
