Assigning a Reserved Public IP Address to an Instance

On Compute Cloud@Customer, you can assign a public IP address to an instance, you assign the public IP address object to a private IP address object.

An ephemeral public IP address can be assigned only to the primary private IP address of a VNIC. See Assigning an Ephemeral Public IP Address to an Instance. A reserved public IP address can be assigned to any private IP address.

See Reserving a Public IP Address to create a reserved public IP address that is available to assign to a private IP address object at a later time.

Use the procedures in Updating a Public IP Address to assign an existing reserved public IP address object to the specified private IP address object or to create and assign a reserved public IP address in one step.

A reserved public IP address object remains available for reassignment when its private IP address object is deleted, its VNIC is detached or terminated, or its instance is terminated.
