create and manage public IPs

Public IPs are fixed addresses that allow access to the internet. Resources connected to a public IP can communicate with the outside world through the internet gateway. Here is how to create and manage public IPs in the VPC service.

Permissions
  • VPC role management follows IAM role-based access control (RBAC), and only Project Admins can create and manage public IPs.
  • For IAM permissions by role, please contact your Organization Admin.

Create public IP​

You can create a new public IP. The created public IP can be connected to a resource for access via the internet.

Notice
  • You cannot choose the public IP address. When you create a public IP, one of the IPs from KakaoCloud's pool of public IP ranges will be assigned to your project.
  1. Go to the KakaoCloud Console > Beyond Networking Service > VPC menu.
  2. Click on the Public IP menu, then click the [Create Public IP] button.
  3. In the Create Public IP popup, enter the required information and click [Create].

Associate resource​

You can associate the public IP you created with a resource to allow internet access.

  1. Go to the KakaoCloud Console > Beyond Networking Service > VPC menu.

  2. Click on the Public IP menu, then select the public IP to associate with a resource.

  3. In the public IP details page, click the [More Options] icon > Associate Resource.

  4. In the Associate Resource popup, enter the required information and click [Save].
