Static Ip

tags: #gcp

• First, reserving static ip causes extra money.
• create two ip address with following cmd

  gcloud compute addresses create $USED_IP --project=$PROJECT_ID --region=us-west1
  gcloud compute addresses create $UNUSED_IP --project=$PROJECT_ID --region=us-west1
  

• Confirm the two address were created

  gcloud compute addresses list --filter="region:(us-west1)"
  

• Export the ip in variable

  export USED_IP_ADDRESS=$(gcloud compute addresses describe $USED_IP --region=us-west1 --format=json | jq -r '.address')
  

• To use the ip: Create a compute instance

  gcloud compute instances create static-ip-instance \
  --zone=us-west1-a \
  --machine-type=e2-medium \
  --subnet=default \
  --address=$USED_IP_ADDRESS
