| **Example 1: To create a public NAT gateway** | |
| The following ``create-nat-gateway`` example creates a public NAT gateway in the specified subnet and associates the Elastic IP address with the specified allocation ID. When you create a public NAT gateway, you must associate an Elastic IP address. :: | |
| aws ec2 create-nat-gateway \ | |
| --subnet-id subnet-0250c25a1fEXAMPLE \ | |
| --allocation-id eipalloc-09ad461b0dEXAMPLE | |
| Output:: | |
| { | |
| "NatGateway": { | |
| "CreateTime": "2021-12-01T22:22:38.000Z", | |
| "NatGatewayAddresses": [ | |
| { | |
| "AllocationId": "eipalloc-09ad461b0dEXAMPLE" | |
| } | |
| ], | |
| "NatGatewayId": "nat-0c61bf8a12EXAMPLE", | |
| "State": "pending", | |
| "SubnetId": "subnet-0250c25a1fEXAMPLE", | |
| "VpcId": "vpc-0a60eb65b4EXAMPLE", | |
| "ConnectivityType": "public" | |
| } | |
| } | |

| **Example 2: To create a private NAT gateway** | |
| The following ``create-nat-gateway`` example creates a private NAT gateway in the specified subnet. A private NAT gateway does not have an associated Elastic IP address. :: | |
| aws ec2 create-nat-gateway \ | |
| --subnet-id subnet-0250c25a1fEXAMPLE \ | |
| --connectivity-type private | |
| Output:: | |
| { | |
| "NatGateway": { | |
| "CreateTime": "2021-12-01T22:26:00.000Z", | |
| "NatGatewayAddresses": [ | |
| {} | |
| ], | |
| "NatGatewayId": "nat-011b568379EXAMPLE", | |
| "State": "pending", | |
| "SubnetId": "subnet-0250c25a1fEXAMPLE", | |
| "VpcId": "vpc-0a60eb65b4EXAMPLE", | |
| "ConnectivityType": "private" | |
| } | |
