    :::warning

    Yandex Cloud does not support `/29` network sizes. This means that Global Router redundancy (VRRP) cannot be configured. Yandex will only be able to establish a BGP session with one of the Selectel Global Routers. If the router fails or requires maintenance, the communication channel will be unavailable until it is restored.
