I completely agree. It’s odd they would announce charging for dedicated IPv4 while not having a free shared egress solution (unless I’m misunderstanding).
I would expect them to reduce NAT pricing in the long run, but who knows.

Almost all of my use cases I could easily ride out to the internet through a shared pipe (apt updates and such) and don't care whatsoever what IP that exits the AWS network from, since I'm not applying firewall rules or anything.
You'll start to care pretty quickly if it's the same IP as a bad actor that's blocked everywhere.
I always love this comments. We pay them literally hundreds of thousands a year.
