I think the reason most people put a NAT per AZ is in case there is a whole AZ outage taking your NAT with it. However, these days I would argue that for most cases it is better to use NAT Gateway rather than NAT Instances.
- coleca 10y agoAnd Terraform had support for the AWS NAT Gateway a long time before AWS' own CloudFormation did. I think there was a PR for TF a day or so after AWS added it to the API. Very impressed with Terraform.

I was working on a deadline and was able to use NAT Gateways for HA NAT instead of setting it all up myself. Super convenient :) https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/4374 https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/4374
