CreateInternetGateway

POST {{baseUrl}}/internetGateways

Creates a new internet gateway for the specified VCN. For more information, see Access to the Internet.

For the purposes of access control, you must provide the OCID of the compartment where you want the Internet Gateway to reside. Notice that the internet gateway doesn't have to be in the same compartment as the VCN or other Networking Service components. If you're not sure which compartment to use, put the Internet Gateway in the same compartment with the VCN. For more information about compartments and access control, see Overview of the IAM Service.

You may optionally specify a display name for the internet gateway, otherwise a default is provided. It does not have to be unique, and you can change it. Avoid entering confidential information.

For traffic to flow between a subnet and an internet gateway, you must create a route rule accordingly in the subnet's route table (for example, 0.0.0.0/0 > internet gateway). See UpdateRouteTable.

You must specify whether the internet gateway is enabled when you create it. If it's disabled, that means no traffic will flow to/from the internet even if there's a route rule that enables that traffic. You can later use UpdateInternetGateway to easily disable/enable the gateway without changing the route rule.
