Once you've set up the Conductor to create Airwall Gateways on Alibaba Cloud, it's easy to create additional Airwall Gateways.
Prerequisites

- Supported versions
- Conductor v2.2.8 and later
To deploy a cloud Airwall Gateway on Alibaba Cloud, you need the following:

- One or more Airwall Gateway image files (from the Alibaba Cloud marketplace, or from Tempered Fulfillment uploaded to the Alibaba Cloud console).
Deploy an Airwall Gateway on Alibaba Cloud
Here’s how to deploy an Airwall Gateway to your Alibaba Cloud account:
Step 2: Create an Airwall Gateway template on Alibaba Cloud
- In the Conductor, select the gear icon in the upper-right to access the Settings page, and go to the Cloud providers tab.
- In the Configured Cloud Providers list, under Alibaba Cloud, select the + next to Airwall templates.
-
Give your template a descriptive name, and then select the Image and
network options you want for Airwall Gateways
created with this template.
Note: To select subnets, you need to select a Network (VPC) first.
- Select Save
Step 3: Deploy Airwall Gateways on Alibaba Cloud
You must Set up Alibaba Cloud as a cloud provider before you can add an Airwall Gateway in the Conductor
-
On the Airwalls
page, (or in Conductor
Settings, under Cloud providers),
click Create cloud Airwall, and select Alibaba
Cloud Airwall.
- In v2.2.8 and later, select the type of Airwall to create, and select Next.
-
In v2.2.8 and later, if you want to use a template to create the Airwall Gateway,
select the template, select Next, and then give the Airwall Gateway a
descriptive name. You can then skip to the next step.
To continue without a template and enter the information manually, just select Next.
- Click Next.
- Check the summary. If everything is correct, click Create cloud Airwall.
- Click Finish. It may take up to 5 minutes for Alibaba Cloud to create the Airwall Gateway.
Step 4: (Optional) Change your Elastic IP Bandwidth Setting
The Airwall Gateway images on Alibaba Cloud use the following default values for elastic IP:
- Bandwidth: 5 Mbps
- InternetChargeType: PayByTraffic
- InstanceChargeType: Postpaid (Pay-As-You-Go)
You can change the bandwidth value once the Airwall Gateway is deployed, however be aware that the bandwidth rate may increase when you edit this value. For more information on how to change the bandwidth, see Alibaba help.
