AWS Network Firewall

In one line

An hourly fee for each firewall endpoint in each AZ, plus a per-GB charge on inspected traffic.

What gets missed

Endpoints are billed per AZ, so a three-AZ VPC runs three hourly meters before any traffic flows. The per-GB fee is on traffic processed by the firewall, which includes traffic that never leaves AWS.

Bills the same way

These services turn exactly the same meters, so what you learn here transfers.
