Hi, everyone, welcome to this lecture. In this lecture, we're going to talk about reserving static external IP addresses. If you deploy an instance that requires a static external IP address that's never going to change, you can reserve a static external IP for that instance. You can actually reserve two different types of external IP addresses. You can reserve a regional IP address or a global IP address.
A regional IP address can be used by VM instances with one or more network interfaces and also by network load balancers. A global IP address can be used for global load balancers. A reserved external IP address can be assigned to a new instance during creation of the instance, or it can be assigned to an existing instance that's already been created. You have two options when reserving a static external IP address. You can either reserve a new static external IP address and then assign it to the new VM instance, or you can promote an existing ephemeral external IP address to a static external IP address.
As was the case with static internal addresses, when you reserve an external IP address, that IP is also removed from the dynamic allocation pool so that the reserved address is never used for an automatic allocation. Reserving a static external IP address for a resource ensures that the resource that's assigned the reserve address always uses the same external address.
In this next lesson, I'll show you how to reserve a new static external IP address.
