Nic
The Network Interface Card (NIC) represents a network interface for a compute resource. It is used to connect the compute resource to a network and can have multiple IP addresses associated with it. The NIC can be associated with a public IP address and is linked to a specific subnet within a virtual network.

This separation keeps the URN portable across\nenvironments and CSP deployments.\n\nThe full URN format is:\n `{provider}/{version}/tenants/{tenant}/workspaces/{workspace}/{type}/{name}`\n\nFor hierarchical (nested) resources, additional parent path segments are included:\n `seca.network/v1/tenants/tn-1/workspaces/ws-1/networks/my-net/route-tables/my-rt`\n\n### Automatic Prefix Inference\n\nIn most cases, the prefix of the URN can be automatically derived in the given context.\nTo simplify usage, only the resource type and name might be specified as a reference\nusing the `<type>/<name>` notation. The suffix can be made more specific by adding\nadditional segments separated by slashes.\n\nThe prefix is automatically inferred from the context. For example, if the resource is a\nblock storage in the same workspace the reference can be specified as\n`block-storages/my-block-storage`. If the resource is a block storage in a different workspace, the\nreference can be specified as `workspaces/ws-1/block-storages/my-block-storage`.\n\nFor automatic prefix inference, the following rules apply:\n- the version is inferred from the current resource version\n- the workspace is inferred from the current workspace\n- the region is inferred from the current region\n- the provider is inferred from the type and context of the usage\n\nThe prefix inference is resolved on admission into the full URN format, which makes it\nmostly suitable for human use.\n",
