Use editor controls for selection, inspector drafts and action menus. Creating or editing this design data does not create an AWS resource.
Fields and editing
| Field / label | Meaning and behaviour | Defaults and constraints |
|---|---|---|
| VPC Parent | Atlas reference to VPC; canonical resource ID, not an AWS ID. Read-only ownership. | Required. |
| Subnet | Atlas reference to Subnet; canonical resource ID, not an AWS ID. Editable association/placement selector. | Required; use a compatible subnet in the VPC. |
| Elastic IP | Atlas reference to Elastic IP; canonical resource ID, not an AWS ID. Reference selector when shown. | Optional bare default null; public interactive creation may create data-only Elastic IP data. |
| Connectivity Type | Editable enum modelling public versus private NAT connectivity. | Public or Private; bare default Public. |
| Internet Gateway | Atlas reference to Internet Gateway; canonical resource ID, not an AWS ID. Dependency value, not a generic editable parent. | Public NAT requires a VPC internet gateway; no silent dependency repair is promised. |
AWS reference
Official AWS service guide explains the service. AWS property reference is a comparison reference. Atlas is an offline design model; its fields are not a promise of direct AWS API/CloudFormation equivalence or regional availability.
