Virtual Private Gateway

Network

A virtual private gateway is the VPN endpoint on the Amazon side of your Site-to-Site VPN connection that can be attached to a single VPC.

Costs

The AWS Virtual Private Gateway is a VPC component that provides the VPN endpoint for Amazon VPC traffic. There is a hourly charge for each active Virtual Private Gateway attached to a VPC, which varies depending on the region in which it is deployed. In addition to the hourly charge for the Virtual Private Gateway, there may also be data transfer fees for traffic sent through the VPN connection, as well as charges for the number of VPN connections established.
