Using a NAT gateway is the best method for outbound connectivity. A NAT gateway is highly extensible, reliable, and doesn't have the same concerns of SNAT port exhaustion.

### Use a NAT gateway for outbound connectivity to the Internet

Virtual network NAT gateway is a highly resilient and scalable Azure service that provides outbound connectivity to the internet from your virtual network. A NAT gateway’s unique method of consuming SNAT ports helps resolve common SNAT exhaustion and connection issues.

* **How does a NAT gateway reduce the risk of SNAT port exhaustion?**
3333

3434
Azure Load Balancer allocates fixed amounts of SNAT ports to each virtual machine instance in a backend pool. This method of allocation can lead to SNAT exhaustion, especially if uneven traffic patterns result in a specific virtual machine sending a higher volume of outgoing connections. Unlike load balancer, a NAT gateway dynamically allocates SNAT ports across all VM instances within a subnet.
3535

3636
A NAT gateway makes available SNAT ports accessible to every instance in a subnet. This dynamic allocation allows VM instances to use the number of SNAT ports each needs from the available pool of ports for new connections. The dynamic allocation reduces the risk of SNAT exhaustion.

* **Port selection and reuse behavior.**
4141

4242
A NAT gateway selects ports at random from the available pool of ports. If there aren't available ports, SNAT ports will be reused as long as there's no existing connection to the same destination public IP and port. This port selection and reuse behavior of a NAT gateway makes it less likely to experience connection timeouts.

There are a few conditions in which you won't be able to use NAT gateway for outbound connections.
