Cloud NAT provides fully managed, software-defined network address translation support for Google Cloud.
Features
Cloud NAT delivers high performance, reliability and scalability, avoiding the need for middle proxies. It lets you restrict inbound communications to your app instances while allowing them to have outbound communications to the internet without using public IPs.
Dynamic Port Allocation (DPA) feature enable Cloud NAT to scale up and down port allocations depending on-demand while providing operator controls to set minimum and maximum port limits.
Choose your NAT IP allocation based on your network requirements. Manual mode gives you full control when specifying IPs, while Auto mode enables the NAT IPs to be allocated and scaled automatically
A single Cloud NAT gateway can provide NAT for all subnets in a VPC region and be configured to support multiple NAT IP addresses. Cloud NAT simplifies application deployment and operation, requiring no changes to networking, forwarding, or routing configurations.
Autoscale your NAT operations with minimal impact to throughput and latency and a 99.99% SLA.
How It Works
To use Cloud NAT, you’ll first create a NAT gateway. Then you’ll be able to configure the NAT policies to safeguard outbound internet connections to GCE and GKE workloads from external threats
Common Uses
Private NAT enables private-to-private translations across Google Cloud networks and other on-premises or cloud provider networks. Inter-VPC NAT lets you create a Private NAT gateway that works in conjunction with Network Connectivity Center Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) spokes to perform network address translation (NAT) between VPC networks.

Pricing
How Cloud NAT Pricing Works | Hourly price for the NAT gateway based on the # of VM instances using the gateway. Per-GiB cost for data transfer processed by the NAT gateway and an hourly price for the external IP address used by the gateway | |
---|---|---|
Services | Description | Price (USD) |
NAT Gateway supporting up to 32 VM instances | $0.0014 * the number of VM instances that are using the gateway | $0.045 Price per GiB processed, inbound and outbound data transfer |
NAT Gateway supporting more than 32 VM instances | $0.044 | $0.045 Price per GiB processed, inbound and outbound data transfer |
IP address used by a NAT gateway | Price per hour for a static or an ephemeral external IP address used by a NAT gateway for Public NAT | $0.005 Price per hour for an external IP used |
