Node Network
Yes
Select the Tencent Cloud VPC network where the current AI Gateway is to be deployed.
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 can be selected.
When the number of nodes is greater than or equal to 3, Random AZ and Specified AZ can be selected. (At least two AZs need to be selected, and up to three AZs can be selected.)
Deployment Architecture
Yes
By default, a 2-node configuration supports dual-AZ deployment within the same city. Configurations with more than 2 nodes support multi-AZ deployment within the same city.
Public Load Balancer
No
After the public network is enabled, fees will be incurred. For specific pricing, see Public Network Traffic Fees.
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 Billing Details.
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 an AI 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 AI 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 an AI Gateway.
