- vacri 9y agoSure, but you also don't need a big NAT Gateway if you're doing the majority of your external chatter via an ELB. Our setup is basically production load goes through an ELB, and incidental traffic goes through the default route (the NAT), so the NAT really only handles traffic like me ssh'ing in and wanting to install a tool, or config management setting up a new server. But yes, if you're going to be sending big traffic through the NAT, a t2.small doesn't have the network performance.
