Reserved ip-addresses are a useful building block when running multiple workspaces that share information or when exposing a service to the internet. You can create and attach a
...
reserved ip the same way you would create a storage volume.
The floating reserved ip feature provides you with a public, static network address. You assign the floating reserved ip to a new workspace. Subsequently this workspace will be accessible through this address.
Predictable
This address being static means that it will not be changed or withdrawn - unless you choose to release it by deleting it in the dashboard. This is particularly useful when you want to expose a web server or build a network of workspaces. Other instances can rely on this address being present.
Public
A floating reserved ip that you create is accessible from anywhere on the internet.

Creation
To create a new floating reserved ip, go to the "IP addresses" tab on the Research Cloud portal's dashboard.
...
The portal will guide you through the steps to create a new floating reserved ip:
Choose "SURF IP" or "Floating AWS IP" depending on the cloud provider your workspaces will run on (and click continue).
Choose the CO you want to create the floating reserved ip for.
Choose the wallet that will fund the floating reserved ip, choose the cloud and the flavour. The cloud should be the cloud where the workspace is hosted that you want to use the floating ip with.
In this last step give a unique name for the new floating reserved IP and a description.
Click on "SUBMIT" to have your new floating reserved ip created.
Ownership
The user who creates the floating reserved ip remains its owner.
Only the owner can attach it to workspaces and delete it.
Usage
Once the floating reserved ip's state changes from "creating" to "available", you can attach the floating ip to a workspace you are creating. The status of the floating ip will change to "in use", then.
When creating the workspace, use the corresponding creation step to attach the floating reserved ip.
The floating reserved ip will become available again after the workspace it has been attached to is deleted.
