ovhcloud cloud network private vrack create

Create a private network in the given cloud project

Synopsis

Use this command to create a private network. There are three ways to define the parameters:

Using only CLI flags:

ovhcloud cloud network private vrack create --name MyNetwork
Using a configuration file:

First you can generate an example of parameters file using the following command:

ovhcloud cloud network private vrack create <region> --init-file ./params.json

You will be able to choose from several examples of parameters. Once an example has been selected, the content is written in the given file. After editing the file to set the correct creation parameters, run:

ovhcloud cloud network private vrack create <region> --from-file ./params.json

Note that you can also pipe the content of the parameters file, like the following:

cat ./params.json | ovhcloud cloud network private vrack create <region>

In both cases, you can override the parameters in the given file using command line flags, for example:

ovhcloud cloud network private vrack create <region> --from-file ./params.json --name MyNetwork

3. Using your default text editor:

ovhcloud cloud network private vrack create <region> --editor

You will be able to choose from several examples of parameters. Once an example has been selected, the CLI will open your default text editor to update the parameters. When saving the file, the creation will start.

Note that it is also possible to override values in the presented examples using command line flags like the following:

ovhcloud cloud network private vrack create <region> --editor --name MyNetwork

ovhcloud cloud network private vrack create <region> [flags]
