Deleting a Public IP Address

On Compute Cloud@Customer, in certain circumstances, you can delete public IP addresses.

An ephemeral public IP address object can't be unassigned and can't be directly deleted. An ephemeral public IP address object is deleted in the following cases:

  • Its private IP address object is deleted.

  • Its VNIC is detached or deleted.

  • Its instance is deleted.

A reserved public IP address object is unassigned but remains available for reassignment when its private IP address object is deleted, its VNIC is detached or deleted, or its instance is deleted.

Use the procedures in this section to delete a reserved public IP address object.
