HOWTO: Commission a VyOS Edge Router via HyOps

The hybrid-WAN reference scenario uses a Hetzner-hosted VyOS edge to terminate site tunnels, peer with the GCP hub over BGP, and provide the internet-facing routing boundary. This HOWTO commissions that implementation through the Hetzner VyOS edge blueprint, covering interfaces, BGP, IPsec, NAT, and the structured run record that verifies operational state.

What this covers:

  • VyOS edge commissioning via blueprints/hetzner/vyos-edge with interface, BGP, and IPsec inputs
  • BGP session bring-up and route advertisement validation: on-prem prefixes visible at the Hetzner edge
  • IPsec tunnel bootstrap and liveness probe records confirming end-to-end encrypted path
