Amazon Network Firewall now supports flexible cost allocation via Transit Gateway
Amazon Network Firewall now supports flexible cost allocation through Amazon Transit Gateway native attachments, enabling you to automatically distribute data processing costs across different accounts. Customers can create metering policies to apply data processing charges based on their organization's chargeback requirements instead of consolidating all expenses in the firewall owner account.
This capability helps security and network teams better manage centralized firewall costs by distributing charges to application teams based on actual usage. Organizations can now maintain centralized security controls while automatically allocating inspection costs to the appropriate business units or application owners, eliminating the need for custom cost management solutions.
Flexible cost allocation is available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. There are no additional charges for using this attachment or flexible cost allocation beyond standard pricing of Amazon Network Firewall and Amazon Transit Gateway.
