Parameter
Required
Description
Billing Mode
Yes
Yearly/Monthly subscription and Pay-as-you-go are supported. If your gateway instance needs to be used for more than one month, you are advised to use the prepaid (yearly/monthly subscription) mode. For details about the price, see Pricing.
Gateway Configuration
Yes
For common scenarios, select Default Configuration. If you have requirements for the gateway version, you can select Custom Configuration.
Region
Yes
Select the region closest to your deployed business.
Product Version
Yes
The Developer, Standard, and Pro Editions are supported. The Pro Edition provides advanced features, such as elastic scaling and can be used in test and production environments. For specific differences, see Specification Comparison.
Gateway Version
Yes
When Custom Configuration is selected, you can specify the gateway version. Currently, versions such as 2.8.1, 2.5.4, and 2.5.2 are supported. It is recommended to select the latest stable version.
Node Specifications
Yes
An AI Gateway cluster consists of multiple nodes. Select the specification for each node here.
Number of Nodes
Yes
An AI Gateway cluster consists of multiple nodes. Select the number of nodes here.
When the number of nodes is 2, only random AZ assignment is supported.
When the number of nodes is greater than or equal to 3, you can select Random AZ or Specified AZ. (You must select at least two AZs and can select up to three AZs.)
The Node AZ Type can be specified only in the Professional Edition. This option is not available in the Developer Edition or Standard Edition.
If you enable Public Load Balancer, the AZ type option is also provided for it and can be configured separately.
Deployment Architecture
Yes
Developer Edition: intra-city single-AZ deployment.
Standard Edition and Professional Edition: They support only intra-city dual-AZ deployment and provide a high-availability gateway.
Node Network
Yes
Select the Tencent Cloud VPC network where the current AI Gateway is to be deployed.
Public Load Balancer
No
After the public network is enabled, fees will be incurred. For specific pricing, see the Public Network Traffic Fees section in the Pricing document.
Billing Mode: By traffic usage and By bandwidth are supported.
Bandwidth Cap: The supported range is 1 - 2048 Mbps.
AZ Type: Single-AZ and Multi-AZ are supported. When Multi-AZ is selected, you need to select a primary AZ and a secondary AZ. When the primary AZ is faulty, Cloud Load Balancer (CLB) can automatically switch to the secondary AZ within a short time and restore services to ensure gateway availability.
Log Collection
No
Enable real-time log service: Cloud Native API Gateway provides real-time logging and simple search capabilities free of charge by default. To persistently store logs for troubleshooting, audit, and other scenarios, you are advised to enable Cloud Log Service (CLS).
Enable CLS: This enables gateway log shipping and provides log analysis for you. Before selecting this option, confirm that you have activated CLS. The log service is provided by CLS and incurs fees. For specific billing items, see CLS Billing Details.

No
Used for resource management by type. For detailed usage methods, see Tag Management.
3. Click Buy Now and wait patiently for the instance to be created.

Verifying the Result

Return to the gateway instance list page and view information and status of the created gateway instance. If the displayed gateway instance information is the same as that specified during creation and the status is Running, the gateway instance is created successfully.

Must-Knows

To create a Cloud Native Intelligent Gateway, your account must have the ApiGateWay_QCSRole role, and the role must have the QcloudAccessForApiGateWayRoleInCloudNativeAPIGateway policy. If you do not have the required role and policy, complete the authorization in the pop-up window that appears during the creation process.
The logging feature of Cloud Native Intelligent Gateway depends on Tencent Cloud Log Service (CLS). Please ensure that you have activated CLS. Otherwise, go to the CLS console to activate the service before creating a Cloud Native Intelligent Gateway.
