Network Interfaces¶
Introduction¶
Zadara Cloud Services UI supports network configuration for VM instances based on the following common network concepts:
Subnets - Standard IP subnet based on IP address and mask.
Network Interfaces - A network interface is simply a specific IP address assigned to a VM instances. To help maintain network consistency, a network interface can be defined as an IP on a specific subnet. The UI will ensure that the selected IP is within the selected subnet.
