Reserved IPs
Static IP allocation for Tasmanian Cloud resources
Coming Soon
Reserved IP features are currently under development. This page outlines our planned offerings.
Overview
We're working on allowing you to reserve static IP addresses for your resources. Reserved IPs ensure your instances maintain consistent addresses even after restarts or recreation.
Planned Features
IP Reservation
You'll be able to:
- Reserve IPv4 addresses from your private network pool
- Assign reserved IPs to VPS instances
- Maintain persistent IP addresses across instance lifecycle
Use Cases
| Use Case | Description |
|---|---|
| Static workloads | Applications requiring fixed IP addresses |
| Whitelist management | Simplify firewall rules with known IPs |
| Database servers | Stable connections from application layers |
| Internal services | DNS entries pointing to consistent addresses |
Allocation Strategy
We're designing the system to allocate IPs from your VPC's address space:
graph TB
subgraph "Your VPC"
subgraph "Subnet: 10.0.40.0/22"
R1[Reserved IP<br/>10.0.40.50]
R2[Reserved IP<br/>10.0.40.51]
D1[Dynamic IP<br/>10.0.40.100]
D2[Dynamic IP<br/>10.0.40.101]
end
end
R1 --> VPS1[Associated VPS]
R2 --> VPS2[Associated VPS]
D1 --> VPS3[Dynamic VPS]
What We're Solving
- Predictability — Know your IP addresses ahead of time
- Simplified networking — No need to update configurations after instance changes
- Firewall stability — Maintain allowlists without constant updates
