Create Instance Network Interface

Create a new network interface (NIC) for a server instance and connect it to an isolated network.

This endpoint allows you to add additional network interfaces to instances, enabling multi-homed configurations and network isolation. You can specify IP addresses and MAC addresses for precise network planning.

Key Features:

• Network Isolation: Connect instances to private isolated networks
• IP Address Control: Assign specific IP addresses within network ranges
• MAC Address Management: Set custom MAC addresses for interface identification
• Multi-homed Support: Add multiple network interfaces to single instances

Best Practices:

• Ensure IP addresses are within the target network's CIDR range
• Use unique MAC addresses to avoid conflicts
• Plan network segmentation for security and performance
• Document network interface purposes for operational clarity

Network Requirements:

• Target isolated network must exist and be accessible
• IP address must be available within the network range
• MAC address must be unique within the network segment
