Floating IPs

A floating IP is an address you can move between servers. The Floating IPs screen lists yours, each showing its type and which server (if any) it's assigned to.

Creating a floating IP

Tap Create (read/write connections), then choose:

• Type — ipv4 or ipv6.
• Location — the region.
• Description (optional).
• On Microsoft Azure, a resource-group chooser appears first.

Assigning and moving

• An unassigned IP shows Assign… — pick a server to point it at.
• An assigned IP shows Unassign to release it. To move it, unassign then assign again.

Deleting

Tap Delete and confirm — this permanently releases the address and cannot be undone.

If actions are missing

Create, Assign, Unassign and Delete appear only on a read/write connection where the provider supports them.
