FAQ
What's the difference between EC2 NAT instances and NAT instances created by this construct
There are below differences,
- EC2 NAT instance will route all Internet traffic to itself by default
- NAT instance uses depracated Amazon Linux AMI, this construct always uses latest Amazon Linux 2 AMI
- NAT instances created by this construct can work with NAT gateways together, you can have multiple NAT instances in one VPC
- This construct can help when only routing specific traffic(for example, github/gist) to NAT instances which acts as transit proxy
What's the difference between CDK built-in NAT instances and NAT instances created by this construct
- CDK built-in NAT instances has to be created with VPC stack, this construct can add NAT instances to any existing VPC
- You can use this construct multiple NAT instances for different purposes
- This construct allows you customize the instances how to route the traffic
The deployment fails due to the routes in route table exceeds the limit
The default routes in route table is 50, the deployment will fail if adding routes more than the limit of your account. You can increase the limit up to 1000 routes per route table via service quota.
How to exclude IPv6 CIDR with built-in github/google/cloudflare routes

new SimpleNAT(this, 'SimpleNAT', {
vpc,
})
.withCloudflareRoute({
