Routing through a NAT instance

A NAT instance is a VM with pre-configured routing and IP address translation rules.

Yandex Cloud allows you to connect internal VMs to the internet through a NAT instance with static routing. All internal VMs use a single public IP address of the NAT instance.

In this tutorial, you will create a test VM and a NAT one and set up routing using Yandex Compute Cloud and Yandex Virtual Private Cloud, respectively.

You can use one of the following tools to set up NAT routing:

• Management console: Create your infrastructure one step at a time from the Yandex Cloud management console.
• Terraform: Streamline creating and managing your resources using the infrastructure as code (IaC) approach. Download a Terraform configuration example and then deploy the infrastructure using the Yandex Cloud Terraform provider.
