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.
