[weizhouapache]

Description

how about StaticNat (and maybe others)?

[weizhouapache]

good question
To be honest, I never tested the case that SourceNat and StaticNat are provided by different providers (e.g. Nsx for Source NAT and VPCVirtualRouter for Static NAT). I do not think it will work.

this PR is aligned with the 4.19 code

cloudstack/server/src/main/java/com/cloud/network/vpc/VpcManagerImpl.java

Lines 3115 to 3119 in f9b1767

	@Override
	publicbooleanisSrcNatIpRequired(longvpcOfferingId) {
	finalMap<Network.Service, Set<Network.Provider>> vpcOffSvcProvidersMap = getVpcOffSvcProvidersMap(vpcOfferingId);
	returnvpcOffSvcProvidersMap.get(Network.Service.SourceNat).contains(Network.Provider.VPCVirtualRouter);
	}

ok, might work. As you create a method isSrcNatIpRequiredForVpcVr the contents seems appropriate, but its use is more like needsPublicInterface does it? and in that case we would also want to test if the VR needs to provide StaticNat. I think a Gateway could be on a static ip as well, in theory at least.

maybe rename the method?

[weizhouapache]

for isolated networks (NATTED mode by default), it uses VR as SourceNat
for Routed networks, it uses VR as Gateway
in both cases, the VR needs a public IP (as Source NAT or Gateway)

For Static NAT, I think we do not need to add a public interface to the VR when VR is created.
when Static NAT is enabled, it may add a public interface if needed

as discussed offline, we need to evaluate the impact of the changes and test heavily.
moved to draft, we will revisit in the future
