Starting today, AWS Compute Optimizer expands its idle resource detection capabilities to include NAT Gateways. Building on our recent launch of idle recommendations for compute, storage, and database resources, you can now identify and clean up unused NAT Gateway resources to drive additional cost savings while maintaining application reliability.
