Public IPs (NetworkIP)

API: Stable

Network IPs grant users access to an IP address resource.

Rationale

📝 NOTE: This API follows the standard Resources API. We recommend that you have already read and understood the concepts described here.


IPs are used in combination with Jobs. This will attach an IP address to the compute resource. For example, on a virtual machine, this might add a new network interface with the IP address.

It is not a strict requirement that the IP address is visible inside the compute environment. However, it is required that users can access the services exposed by a Job through this API.

If the firewall feature is supported by the provider, then users must define which ports are expected to be in use by the Job. If the firewall feature is not supported, then all ports must be open by default or managed from within the compute environment. For example, the firewall feature is not supported if the firewall is controlled by the virtual machine.

Remote Procedure Calls

browse

API: Stable Auth: Users

Browses the catalog of available resources

Request Response Error
ResourceBrowseRequest<NetworkIPFlags> PageV2<NetworkIP> CommonErrorMessage

retrieve

API: Stable Auth: Users

Retrieve a single resource

Request Response Error
ResourceRetrieveRequest<NetworkIPFlags> NetworkIP CommonErrorMessage

retrieveProducts

API: Stable Auth: Users

Retrieve product support for all accessible providers

Request Response Error
Unit SupportByProvider<Product.NetworkIP, NetworkIPSupport> CommonErrorMessage

This endpoint will determine all providers that which the authenticated user has access to, in the current workspace. A user has access to a product, and thus a provider, if the product is either free or if the user has been granted credits to use the product.

init

API: Stable Auth: Users

Request (potential) initialization of resources

Request Response Error
Unit Unit CommonErrorMessage

This request is sent by the client, if the client believes that initialization of resources might be needed. NOTE: This request might be sent even if initialization has already taken place. UCloud/Core does not check if initialization has already taken place, it simply validates the request.
