Tigera: Leveraging Calico Egress Gateway as a Low-Cost NAT Gateway

Kubernetes workloads often require static, routable IP addresses to connect to external services. While cloud-managed NAT gateways offer convenience, their hourly and per-gigabyte data processing fees can quickly escalate, potentially exceeding compute costs for high-traffic deployments. Calico provides Calico Egress Gateway, which can do double duty as an in-cluster NAT gateway solution, offering a cost-effective and flexible alternative to traditional cloud NAT gateway services.

In this webinar, you’ll discover how Calico Egress Gateway helps you to:

• Reduce Cloud Costs: Eliminate hourly and per-GB data processing fees associated with cloud-managed NAT gateways.
• Deploy NAT Gateways: How Calico Egress Gateway can function as a NAT Gateway
• Enhance Control and Flexibility: Gain granular control over egress traffic, including the ability to exempt specific destinations and integrate with Calico network and DNS policies.
• Ensure Scalability and Reliability: Achieve high availability and avoid central bottlenecks by deploying multiple Calico Egress Gateways within your cluster.

Join us to learn how Calico Egress Gateway empowers you to cut costs, simplify egress control, and optimize your Kubernetes networking without sacrificing security, scalability, or flexibility.
