Access Gates Dialog |
Description |
![]() |
The Access Gates dialog is used to provision a new Access Gate instance that includes a pre-configured gateway apliance. |
Name field | Specifies the name for the instance, which can be any desired name. |
Sky Node field | Specifies the Sky Node where the instance will be created. This field also determines which {ANYNODE}'s code service is used. |
Network field | Specifies the network for the instance. You can read more about networks in the documentation: Private Network. |
Boot field | Specifies the operating system for the instance, which is magna-os, the only available OS for Access Gates. |
Password field | Specifies the root user password for the instance. This field allows the use of Secret Key Tags to obfuscate the password, ensuring enhanced security. |
CPU (#) field | Specifies the number of CPU cores that will be assigned to the instance. |
CPU (Time) field | Specifies how much time of the assigned CPU cores can be allocated. For example: If you have 1 CPU core and utilize 50% of CPU Time, that would be like assigning 1/2 (half) a CPU to the instance. |
RAM (GB) field | Specifies the amount of memory, in gigabytes, that will be allocated to the instance. |
DISK (GB) field | Specifies the amount of disk space, in gigabytes, that will be allocated to the instance. |
NET (Mbps) field | Specifies the network bandwidth, measured in megabits per second, that will be allocated to the instance. |
VLAN field | Specify the VLAN tag ID for the instance's network only if xcLAN is selected and the {ANYNODE} is connected to a network with multiple untagged VLANs, otherwise set it to 0. |
GPU field | Specifies whether the instance can access the GPU of the Sky Node. You can find more information about how to enable GPU here: GPU for Instances. |
Show button | Toggle the visibility of the password field. |
Create button | Save the configuration of the instance and provision it. |
Cancel button | Abort and close the dialog. |
