Previously, NAT Gateway discounts applied only to primary firewall endpoints, and customers incurred extra charges for TLS inspection via Advanced Inspection in select regions. The updated pricing extends NAT Gateway discounts to secondary endpoints and removes additional fees for TLS inspection across 13 AWS regions.
These changes lower operational costs for architectures employing multiple VPC endpoints and TLS inspection features, enabling more affordable deployment of scalable network security with enhanced encrypted traffic inspection capabilities.
