Methods for connecting Public Cloud to a global router

Last update: June 04 2026

The VMware-based cloud can be connected to the Selectel Global Router to route traffic at the L3 level between public cloud virtual machines and other Selectel products.

You can configure connectivity using one of three scenarios. In each scenario, a subnet will be created in the public cloud, but the connectivity management options will differ.

The speed between the public cloud and the Global Router is limited to 1 Gbps. To increase the bandwidth, create a ticket.

	1. New subnet for connecting virtual machines without a client Edge router	2. Transit subnet added to the client Edge router with configured static routes	3. Public cloud transit subnet with the subnet added to the client Edge router and a configured BGP session
Public cloud subnet for connection to the Global Router	Only a new subnet, without adding it to the client Edge router	Any subnet added to the client Edge router	Any subnet added to the client Edge router
Use of a client Edge router (the ability to configure NAT, Firewall, and other functions)	✗	✓	✓
Mechanism for configuring routes between the service and client Edge router	—	Static routes	BGP protocol
Changing the subnet composition after configuring connectivity	✗	✓ (you will need to update static routes yourself and create a ticket)	✓ (you will need to update the route redistribution settings yourself)
