Obtain public IP addresses in private cloud

In public networks you can reserve or purchase public IP addresses for your VMs. Reserved IPs may be charged while they are reserved, even if they are not used in VMs.

You can reserve public IPs directly from the Edit VM dialog or on the Public networks tab.

Privileges: Manage public IPs, Access public networks tab, Manage public network elements

To add new public IP addresses to your virtual datacenter:

Go to myCloud → Networks → Public
On the Public IPs page, click the + add button to display the list of available public IPs
1. To move between pages, use pagination controls, such as arrows and page numbers
2. To filter your search, enter an IP address or Network name in the Search filter box
Select IP addresses to add them to your virtual datacenter
Click Add to reserve the IPs

The platform will add the IPs to your VDC

Obtain public IP addresses in public cloud

During onboarding from public cloud, the platform will onboard existing public IP addresses in providers that support them, such as AWS and Azure. You can obtain them from the provider and assign them to your virtual datacenters and VMs.

To add public IP addresses to your virtual datacenter, so that you can later assign them to your VMs:

Go to myCloud
Select a public cloud virtual datacenter or location
Go to Network → Public
On the Allocated public IPs page, click the + add button
To add the public IP to a virtual datacenter, click the Add to VDC link near the IP address

Now when you edit a VM in the VDC and go to Network → Public, the platform will display the public IP address and you can add it to your VM.
