    Manages a libvirt virtual network.

    Create Network Resource

    Resources are created with functions called constructors. To learn more about declaring and configuring resources, see Resources.

    Constructor syntax

    new Network(name: string, args?: NetworkArgs, opts?: CustomResourceOptions);
    @overload
    def Network(resource_name: str,
                args: Optional[NetworkArgs] = None,
                opts: Optional[ResourceOptions] = None)
    
    @overload
    def Network(resource_name: str,
                opts: Optional[ResourceOptions] = None,
                autostart: Optional[bool] = None,

    Network Resource Properties

    To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.
