Make sure to choose the right network metric for your workload. For example, you can turn on metrics for VPC Network Address Usage, VPC NAT Gateway, AWS Transit Gateway, VPN tunnel, AWS Network Firewall, Elastic Load Balancing, and AWS Direct Connect. Continually monitoring metrics is a good practice to observe and understand your network status and usage, which helps you optimize network configuration based on your observations.
