Create an internet gateway
You can create an internet gateway that you can then attach to a VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) to connect VM (Virtual Machine) of one or more subnets directly to the Internet.
To do so, you must also add a route to the route table of these subnets directing Internet traffic to the internet gateway, and update your security groups. For more information, see the Tutorial: Set up a direct connection between the VM of a VPC and the Internet ↗.

A confirmation message appears at the bottom of the page indicating that the internet gateway has been created.
The POST /compute/spaces/{spaceId}/internetGateways command creates an internet gateway that you can use with a VPC.
An internet gateway allows VM launched in a network to connect to the Internet. It enables the routing of inbound and outbound Internet traffic as well as the management of public IP.
The Terraform documentation is available on the Numspot registry ↗.
