## Source (`component` YAML, verbatim)

```yaml
# yaml-language-server: $schema=../../schema/component.schema.json
# NAT Gateway: address translation for traffic leaving or entering a VPC. "What is NAT Gateway"
# describes a fully managed network address translation gateway, the Internet NAT gateway that
# translates private IPv4 addresses to EIPs so multiple ECS instances share one EIP through SNAT, and
# the VPC NAT gateway that translates addresses inside a VPC; deployment is either cross-zone disaster
# recovery with automatic failover on a zone failure or single-zone disaster recovery, and the page
# states no default, so zoneRedundant is left unset. No idle connection timeout is stated.
