This feature sets the limits when you deploy or reconfigure a VM to use a public IP.

If you deploy a VM and the platform cannot configure the limit, then the deploy will fail and roll back.
If you reconfigure a VM and try to add a public IP, and the limit fails, then the platform will roll back the reconfigure and delete the public IP address.

If you are working with multiple VMs and there are different switches involved, then the platform will make a best effort to update all of the VMs, and log any errors.
