vRouter Offering

What is vRouter Offering?

A vRouter offering defines the number of vCPU cores, memory size, image, management network, and public network configuration settings of VPC vRouters. You can use a vRouter offering to create VPC vRouters that can provide network services for public networks and VPC networks. You can use a vRouter offering to create multiple VPC vRouters. These VPC vRouters share the same public network and management network defined in the vRouter offering. The public network and management network defined in the vRouter offering cannot be detached from the VPC vRouters.

  • Management Network: Select an L3 management network you created before.
    • A management network is used by the management node to deploy and configure resources such as hosts and VPC vRouters.
