Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB)

  • Timebilled
  • Bytesbilled
  • Callsnot billed

In one line

The GWLB itself bills hourly per AZ plus GLCUs, and the endpoints in front of it bill separately.

What gets missed

Gateway Load Balancer Endpoints are distinct PrivateLink-priced resources with their own hourly and per-GB fees. Budget the GWLB alone and you miss a large share of the total.
