Satirical article warns against using Managed NAT Gateway, a service that lets users egress traffic from a VPC to the public internet. The service costs $0.07 per gigabyte, and is sometimes not given much thought as a necessary expense. The author suggests using Tailscale exit nodes instead of Managed NAT Gateway for egress-heavy workloads. Additionally, the article proposes the creation of Hoshino, a system that puts outgoing IPv6 packets into S3 and reads incoming IPv6 packets from S3 to avoid Managed NAT Gateway costs. The author uses Terraform to automate creating IAM users and security policies for Hoshino nodes. The post is a satirical take on cloud computing costs and saving money for startups.
