AWS provides this now with VPC.
Not when using VPC, which almost any modern AWS deployment is.
Do they use NAT gateways? These require public IPs.
aws has security groups as well. using NAT for a firewall is overkill.
Would you feel better if they were AWS IPs?
Serious question, anybody try VPN, and then connect to AWS?
I can only recommend fck-nat.dev as an alternative to aws’s own nat instances.
It looks to be available, but (from the bottom of the article) "Regular NAT gateway charges may apply."
It's not supported: http://aws.amazon.com/vpc/faqs/#R4
Apparently it consumes variable number of IP addresses on VPC subnet. I wish it just NAT-ed into it.
