SR-IOV network#
SR-IOV is a hardware standard that allows a single network card port to appear as several virtual network interfaces in a virtualized environment.
The sriov
network type allows to specify presets to use when connecting instances to a parent interface.
In this case, the instance NICs can simply set the network
option to the network they connect to without knowing any of the underlying configuration details.
