Question - Why aren't NAT Gateways used in GovCloud #14

Closed dls314 closed 7 years ago

dls314 commented 7 years ago

I noticed that NAT Gateways aren't used in GovCloud by the template--NAT instances are used instead.

In the documentation, it says

If you deploy the Quick Start in a region that doesn’t support NAT gateways, NAT instances are deployed instead.

I can't (yet) find anything about VPCs in GovCloud not supporting NAT Gateway in any of the docs (https://aws.amazon.com/govcloud-us/details/)

Is this an obsolete limitation?

Hi @dls314 , VPC NAT Gateways are currently not available in the AWS GovCloud Region.

Thanks, Santiago
