}network:CreateVPC. See NETWORK permissions for the full list, what each one covers, and an example policy.Authorizations
An OAuth 2.0 bearer token, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>.
This is the recommended way to authenticate.
Get one by exchanging a service account's access key pair at
POST /v1/oauth/token with grant_type=client_credentials. It is the
standard client-credentials grant, so any OAuth-aware library will
obtain and refresh it for you.
curl -s -u "$KEY_ID:$SECRET" -d grant_type=client_credentials \ https://iam.basaltic.sh/v1/oauth/token
Tokens last an hour by default. The same access key pair is separately your AWS SigV4 credential for the S3-compatible object endpoint, which speaks nothing else.
Headers
Optional client-generated key that makes a create replay-safe. Retrying a request with the same key returns the original outcome verbatim instead of creating a duplicate resource. Reusing a key with a different request body is rejected (422); a request whose key is still being processed returns 409. Records are honored for 24 hours. Use a UUID or similarly unique token.
255Body
Resource names must not start with the literal crn: prefix or be UUIDs (canonical, compact, braced, or urn:uuid: forms, in either case).
"prod"
Must be private (RFC 1918): within 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 or 192.168.0.0/16.
"10.0.0.0/16"
"Production VPC for web and app tiers"
Allocate a regional GUA /60. Mutually exclusive with cidr_ipv6. Existing IPv6 ranges cannot be replaced.

Optional aligned locally assigned ULA (fd00::/8), /48 through /60. May be added after VPC creation.
