NAT Gateway cannot be created when free trial ends. #3

Single NAT Gateway in the VNET will cost you nothing, but when your free trial ends, you will not be able to create it, since in service limits it is stated as 0.

The repo in its current shape can be successfully deployed while you are on the free trial, but when you try to redeploy after it ends - terraform will fail.

There are three options:

  1. Redesign the architecture, and make sure the access VM has public IP to solve the purpose of NAT Instance. https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Resources/Assets/whitepapers/nat-instance-configuration.pdf
  2. Leave the architecture as-is, ensure we deploy the networking part only during the free trial, and never destroy it.
  3. Leave the architecture as-is, and require users to upgrade the subscription.

None of these I like, but we will have to decide.

The same goes for the Service gateway.
