An Enhanced NAT Gateway for an Existing VPC with Its EIP and SNAT Entries

An enhanced, pay-as-you-go NAT gateway for an existing Alibaba Cloud VPC, with a PayByTraffic elastic IP whose bandwidth cap every subnet shares, and an SNAT entry for each vSwitch listed, because a gateway with no SNAT entry forwards nothing. Deletion protection is on for the gateway and the address; off has to be accepted by name.

This is the operations reference: version drift, dependants and neighbours. For what the module provisions, its inputs and outputs, and how to buy it, see the catalogue entry.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

Nearest alternatives

Same cloud, same category. These are what you would weigh against it without changing provider.

The same job on other clouds

NAT Gateway on other providers. Useful when the cloud is still open, or when you are pricing a second one. How far a comparison like that can be trusted is covered in comparing clouds.
