internet_gateway_id

Description

The internet_gateway_id parameter is used when you are using an existing VPC for your rack. This parameter allows you to specify the ID of the attached internet gateway.

Default Value

The default value for internet_gateway_id is an empty string. When set to an empty string, Convox will automatically create an internet gateway if one does not already exist for the VPC.

Use Cases

Existing VPC Integration: Use this parameter to integrate your Convox rack with an existing VPC that has an internet gateway attached.
Network Configuration: Ensures that your rack can access the internet through the specified internet gateway.

Setting Parameters

The internet_gateway_id parameter must be configured at rack installation. Example:

Key	Value
`internet_gateway_id`	`igw-1234567890abcdef0`

Additional Information

By setting the internet_gateway_id parameter, you enable your rack to utilize the specified internet gateway, ensuring seamless integration with your existing AWS network infrastructure.

It is also important to configure the cidr block to avoid collisions with existing VPC subnets. To avoid CIDR block collision with existing VPC subnets, please add a new CIDR block to your VPC to separate rack resources.
