Q

What is a router?

A

It defines where a packet is sent once it leaves the VM?

50
Q

How would i take two VM and route all traffic to a proxy?

Define a route with a tag and asigne the tag to the VM’s

51
Q

For routes what are my next hop options

52
Q

Are routes global?

A

Yes, they are attached to a VPC (global)

Q

What is a host project?

A

I refers to a project that will host a VPC for other projects.
