ModifyNatGatewaySpec - Virtual Private Cloud - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Upgrades a subscription Internet NAT gateway.

Operation description

You cannot call this operation to downgrade a subscription Internet NAT gateway. You can downgrade a subscription Internet NAT gateway only in the console.
When you call this operation to upgrade a subscription Internet NAT gateway, an order is generated. After you complete the payment in the order center, the Internet NAT gateway is upgraded.
ModifyNatGatewaySpec is an asynchronous operation. After you make a request, the ID of the request is returned but the Internet NAT gateway is not upgraded. The system upgrades the NAT gateway in the background. You can call the DescribeNatGateways operation to query the status of an Internet NAT gateway. - If an Internet NAT gateway is in the Modifying state, the NAT gateway is being upgraded. In this case, you can only query the NAT gateway but cannot perform other operations.
- If an Internet NAT gateway is in the Available state, the Internet NAT gateway is upgraded.
You cannot repeatedly call the ModifyNatGatewaySpec operation to resize a pay-by-specification NAT gateway.

Internet NAT gateways are available in different sizes. The size of an Internet NAT gateway determines the SNAT performance, which includes the maximum number of connections and the number of new connections per second. However, the size of a NAT gateway does not affect the data throughput. The following table describes the correlations between different sizes of Internet NAT gateways and SNAT performance metrics.

Size	Maximum number of connections	Number of new connections per second
Small	10,000	1,000
Medium	50,000	5,000
Large	200,000	10,000

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.
