Creating an Internet Service

You can create an internet gateway that you can then attach to a Net to connect virtual machines (VMs) in one or more Subnets directly to the internet.

To do so, you also need to 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 Tutorial: Setting Up a Direct Connection Between VMs in a Net and the Internet.
