| Hidden Overage Trap | S3 and DynamoDB traffic routed through Managed NAT Gateways incurs $0.045/GB processing fee unnecessarily when free VPC Gateway Endpoints are not configured. | Verbose debug logs and noisy load-balancer health checks counted at full daily GB ingest price; exceeding daily ingest 5 times in a rolling 30-day window triggers enforcement. |
| Primary Negotiation Lever | Attach free S3/DynamoDB VPC Gateway Endpoints immediately (cuts NAT data bill 40%–70% in 10 minutes) and bundle remaining egress into an AWS EDP addendum. | Insert an telemetry pipeline filter (Cribl / OpenTelemetry) before Splunk ingest to drop debug noise by 40%, or switch to Splunk Workload Pricing (SVC) at renewal. |
