Description

We have a CIDR allocated to us by ARIN. We used the BYOIP functionality to bring the addresses to AWS. Now we want to use the addresses, specifying a particular IP from our pool. Currently one can only use a random address within the pool, not a specific address.

Looking at the AWS API documentation one needs to simply include the Address parameter instead of PublicIpv4Pool and AWS will assign the IP from the proper pool.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_eip

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_eip" "byoip-ip" {
  vpc              = true
  address          = "1.2.3.4"
}
