cloudscale_floating_ip

Provides a cloudscale.ch Floating IP to represent a publicly-accessible static IP address or IP network that can be assigned to one of your cloudscale.ch servers. Floating IPs can be moved between servers. Possible use cases include: High-availability, non-disruptive maintenance, multiple IPs per server, or re-using the same IP after replacing a server.

Example Usage

# Create a new Server
resource "cloudscale_server" "web-worker01" {
  name        = "web-worker01"
  flavor_slug = "flex-4"
  image_slug  = "debian-9"
  ssh_keys    = ["ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIL2jzgla23DfRVLQr3KT20QQYovqCCN3clHrjm2ZuQFW [email protected]"]
}

# Add a Floating IPv4 address to web-worker01
resource "cloudscale_floating_ip" "web-worker01-vip" {
  server      = "${cloudscale_server.web-worker01.id}"
  ip_version  = 4
  reverse_ptr = "vip.web-worker01.example.com"
}

# Add a Floating IPv6 network to web-worker01
resource "cloudscale_floating_ip" "web-worker01-net" {
  server        = "${cloudscale_server.web-worker01.id}"
  ip_version    = 6
  prefix_length = 56
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported when adding Floating IPs:

• server - (Required) Assign the Floating IP to this server (UUID).
• ip_version - (Required) 4 or 6, for an IPv4 or IPv6 address or network respectively.
• prefix_length - (Optional) If you want to assign an entire network instead of a single IP address to your server, you must specify the prefix length. Currently, there is only support for ip_version=6 and prefix_length=56.
• reverse_ptr - (Optional) You can specify the PTR record (reverse DNS pointer) in case of a single Floating IP address.

The following arguments are supported when updating Floating IPs:

• server - (Required) (Re-)Assign the Floating IP to this server (UUID).

Attributes Reference

In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are exported:

• href - The cloudscale.ch API URL of the current resource.
• network - The CIDR notation of the Floating IP address or network, e.g. 192.0.2.123/32.
• next_hop - The IP address of the server that your Floating IP is currently assigned to.
