Reservation and release of Loadbalancer IPs
less than a minute
Reserve floating IP addresses for the Loadbalancer is useful if you do not want them to change. This is realized through annotations in the service manifest, which is used to configure the load balancer.
Reservation of FloatingIPs
An annotation must be added to the service for the initial reservation of a FloatingIP.
Further use of a FloatingIP
To use an already reserved floating IP, this must also be given to the new service.
Release of FloatingIPs
The annotation loadbalancer.openstack.org/keep-floatingip: must be set to false. The service can then be deleted.
Release of FloatingIPs which are no longer known
If you don’t know which floating IPs you are currently using, you may open a support ticket in your customer panel.
