AWS Telco Network Builder (TNB)

In one line

An hourly charge per managed network function item, plus API requests over a monthly allowance.

What gets missed

MNFI hours run from instantiation to termination whatever the traffic, and the EC2, ELB and S3 resources TNB deploys for each function bill separately on top. The first 45,000 API requests per Region each month are free.
