Google Cloud consists of a set of physical assets, such as computers and hard disk drives, and virtual resources, such as virtual machines (VMs), that are contained in Google’s data centers around the globe. Each data center location is in a region. Regions are available in Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Each region is a collection of zones, which are isolated from each other within the region.
In this totorial we’ll guide you how to reserve External Static IP Address on Google Cloud, by using one of the following options:
- Reserve a new static internal IP address and then assign the address when creating the VM.
- Promote an existing ephemeral IP address to become a static internal IP address.
Reserve External Static IP Address
From left menu, select VPC network > IP addresses.
Select Reserve External Static IP Address.
Enter the information, then click Reserve.
Promote an existing ephemeral IP address
In the More actions menu (
) of the IP address that you want to promote, select Promote to static IP address.
Enter a name for the new static IP address, and then click Reserve.
