Bring Your Own IP

Are you ready to take control of your IP addresses on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)? Now, with the Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP) feature, you can do just that. BYOIP allows you to bring your own IP address space to OCI, giving you the flexibility to manage your resources seamlessly.

Unlocking Limitless Possibilities

With BYOIP, you’re not just bringing individual IP addresses; you’re bringing entire address spaces, ranging from a /24 all the way to a /8. This means you have the potential for a vast pool of IP addresses at your disposal. Whether you need a handful or thousands of IP addresses, BYOIP empowers you to scale your infrastructure according to your needs.

Taking Ownership

Once you bring your IP address space to OCI, it becomes yours to manage. These addresses are reserved specifically for your use, whether it’s for load balancers, network address translation (NAT) gateways, or compute resources. This ownership gives you the freedom to allocate your IP addresses as you see fit, without worrying about them being reclaimed or reassigned.

Managing Your Resources

BYOIP simplifies resource management through IP pools. You have the flexibility to create and manage your own pools, from which OCI will allocate IP addresses for your resources. This centralized management ensures efficient utilization of your IP address space while allowing for easy scalability as your infrastructure grows.

The Workflow

Bringing your IP addresses to OCI involves a straightforward workflow. First, you need to create a customer account and a BYOIP object, which represents your IP addresses within OCI. OCI generates a token for you, which you then provide to your IP address provider. Once you’ve completed this step, you can transfer your IP addresses to OCI’s CIDR prefix or range.

Taking Charge

Once your IP addresses are in OCI, the responsibility shifts to you. You become the administrator, managing the allocation and configuration of your IP address space. Whether you’re setting up a NAT gateway, configuring a load balancer, or provisioning compute resources, BYOIP puts you in control.

Conclusion

Bring Your Own IP to OCI isn’t just about transferring IP addresses—it’s about gaining autonomy over your network infrastructure. With BYOIP, you have the freedom to scale, allocate, and manage your IP address space with ease, unlocking new possibilities for your cloud environment. Take the first step towards greater control and flexibility with BYOIP on OCI.
