  How about lowering the data transfer prices going out to the internet? $0.09/GB is a joke (and in poor taste).

  How about lowering the price of an essential service NAT gateway? Each NAT gateway is $33 per month (without bandwidth charges) and generally if you want to be HA you need one NAT gateway per AZ.

  Yeah but were the prices sky high to begin with and still sky high now? That's the usual AWS hustle.

  Does this mean running a VPC in each AZ connected via Transit Gateway is 100% cheaper than a single VPC w/subnets in each AZ?!

  Regularly see EC2 interzone account for 1/3 of EC2 cost this would be a huge win if so (albeit totally ridiculous).
