definitely a much needed feature for us, in terms of security.

Can we get an update on this, since it's been a year Whitney Jutzin ?

+1, all caps.

Having a static outbound IP is one of the most common practice in production. is is a must needed feature. DigitalOcean is one of the best cloud service providers in terms of accessibility, pricing, and usability among all other major clouds like AWS in my opinion. Still, the lack of NAT gateway support is forcing us to moving out to somewhere else. is a must needed feature.

Any update about this built-feature in DOKS? if we have an operator to handle-it please provide to us in marketplace

This is very needed feature, because making your own GW with destinations excludes massive amount of CIDRs or its a super hassle to pick each DO CIDR and remove from list and then accordingly set other CIDRs. Just because of that we are considering maybe moving to a different cloud provider.

Please add (managed) NAT Gateway for DOK asap, this is a must have for many projects.

This is really basic feature that must be supported and it is already supported by all cloud providers. It seems that we might have to leave DO if it won't support this feature soon as Reserved IP for egress traffic in Kubernetes is quite required and demanding feature.

Yes, this would help us very much!

Thank you for reaching out to us with this insightful feedback. Our Product team is still investigating this product improvement. In the mean time, our team has this as a possible workaround: https://github.com/digitalocean/container-blueprints/tree/main/DOKS-Egress-Gateway This might help. If you need help implementing this, please reach out to our support team at https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/ Thank you again and we'll continue to update you as more information becomes available.

Much needed also for us
