Description

  • What does this PR do?

Split out second part of "Create an instance" into an own how-to relating to network configuration.

  • Why is this change needed?

The "Create an instance" how-to was very long and the network related parts are not necessarily related to "creating an instance". They seem to be more consistent with the network related topics.

In docs folder:

  1. ran make run and checked result in local preview
  2. ran make spelling
  3. ran make linkcheck

Pull request overview

This PR extracts the networking-related sections from the “Create an instance” how-to into a dedicated “Set up custom networking” how-to, and updates the relevant how-to indexes to link to the new page.

Changes:

  • Added a new how-to page for launching instances with additional/bridged interfaces and configuring custom DNS.
  • Removed the corresponding networking/DNS sections from create-an-instance.md to keep it shorter and more focused.
  • Updated how-to indexes to surface the new networking how-to.
