# cfn-cheapest-nat
[![build status][3]][4]
Cheapest AWS VPC NAT solution for personal projects.
## Context
The current solutions *is*:
- EC2 running on Spot.
- Auto Healing
- automatically replaces the unhealthy instance.
- re-attaches a persistent network interface to recover transport level details such as routes.
The solution is *not*:
- Highly Available
- instance unavailability will cause NAT disruption.
- Fault Tolerant
- the persistent network interface results in dependency on a single zone.
## Logical Diagram
## Deploy
```
STACK_NAME=examples-nat \
PRIVATE_ROUTE_TABLES=rtb-0eee90cf29e333813,rtb-0c1d060b614e74b88 \
PUBLIC_SUBNET=subnet-03ad595bb28ce7679 \
./bin/deploy
```
## Testing
I use the AWS System Manager Session Manager to SSH into an instance in a private subnet utilizing the NAT and run:
```
yum install python python-pip -y \
&& pip install --upgrade pip \
&& pip install speedtest-cli \
&& speedtest-cli
