What is the difference between public gateways and CVMs with public IPs?
Public gateways support public network traffic routing and forwarding in images, while CVMs with public IPs do not support traffic forwarding by default. A CVM using a Windows public image cannot be used as a public gateway, because traffic forwarding is not enabled in the Windows image.
