Pre-allocation of SNAT ports to each virtual machine isn't required, which means SNAT ports aren't left unused by VMs not actively needing them.

Pre-allocation of SNAT ports to each virtual machine is required for other SNAT methods. This pre-allocation of SNAT ports can cause SNAT port exhaustion on some virtual machines while others still have available SNAT ports for connecting outbound. With NAT gateway, pre-allocation of SNAT ports isn't required, which means SNAT ports aren't left unused by VMs not actively needing them.
