How to Review Terraform Changes That Replace a Production Network Gateway

A Terraform plan may replace a gateway and change egress, public addresses, routes, or VPN connectivity. Applications can lose access to vendors even if the new gateway is healthy.

What to check

Inspect replacement actions, routes, NAT, public IPs, VPN peers, allowlists, dependent subnets, and failover. Identify services that rely on current egress addresses.

Recommended next step

Plan a staged network transition with vendor coordination and rollback. Validate outbound and inbound paths from affected workloads before deleting the existing gateway.
