Cloud NAT
Cloud NAT is a managed Network Address Translation service on Google Cloud Platform. It provides high performance, scalability, and reliability for networking tasks. Engineers use it to allow resources without public IP addresses to access the internet. This service handles outbound traffic translation, ensuring secure and efficient connectivity for cloud infrastructure components within the GCP ecosystem.
Choose this service when you need a managed, scalable solution for outbound internet access. It operates on a pay-as-you-go pricing model, meaning costs align with actual usage. Be aware that there is no free tier available. This limitation requires careful budget monitoring, as every unit of traffic incurs direct charges from the start of usage.
