How to Create NAT Gateway in Utho Cloud

Overview

Creating a NAT Gateway in Utho Cloud enables resources in private subnets to access the internet securely while keeping them shielded from direct inbound internet traffic. This guide will walk you through the process of creating a new NAT Gateway, including configuring its name, subnet, and Elastic IP allocation.

1. Login to Utho Cloud Platform

• Visit the Utho Cloud Platform’s Login page.

3. Create a New NAT Gateway

At the top of the NAT Gateway Listing Page , you’ll find a button labeled “Create NAT Gateway” . Clicking this button will open a configuration drawer where you’ll need to enter several details for the new NAT Gateway.

4. Configure the NAT Gateway

In the configuration drawer, you’ll be prompted to provide the following information for the new NAT Gateway:

1. Name :

3. Elastic IP Allocation ID :

• This dropdown allows you to select an Elastic IP that has been allocated previously. If there are no Elastic IPs available, a button labeled “Allocate IP” will be shown next to the dropdown. Clicking on this button will generate and allocate a new Elastic IP for the NAT Gateway, which will then be available for selection in the dropdown.

5. Create the NAT Gateway

Once all the configuration inputs have been filled, click on the “Create NAT Gateway” button. This will initiate the creation of the NAT Gateway with the specified settings.

6. Verify NAT Gateway Creation

After the NAT Gateway has been created, you’ll be redirected back to the NAT Gateway Listing Page , where you can verify that your newly created NAT Gateway is listed with the provided details. You can now manage the NAT Gateway as needed.
