Create, assign and delete floating IPs on the cloudscale.ch IaaS service.

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
api_timeout integer	Timeout in seconds for calls to the cloudscale.ch API. This can also be passed in the `CLOUDSCALE_API_TIMEOUT` environment variable. Default: 45
api_token string / required	cloudscale.ch API token. This can also be passed in the `CLOUDSCALE_API_TOKEN` environment variable.
api_url string added in 1.3.0 of cloudscale_ch.cloud	cloudscale.ch API URL. This can also be passed in the `CLOUDSCALE_API_URL` environment variable. Default: “https://api.cloudscale.ch/v1”
ip_version integer	IP protocol version of the floating IP. Required when assigning a new floating IP. Choices: 4 6
name string added in 1.3.0 of cloudscale_ch.cloud	Name to identifiy the floating IP address for idempotency. One of network or name is required to identify the floating IP. Required for assigning a new floating IP.
network aliases: ip string	Floating IP address to change. One of network or name is required to identify the floating IP.
prefix_length integer	Only valid if ip_version is 6. Prefix length for the IPv6 network. Currently only a prefix of /56 can be requested. If no prefix_length is present, a single address is created. Choices: 56
region string	Region in which the floating IP resides (e.g. `lgp` or `rma`). If omitted, the region of the project default zone is used. This parameter must be omitted if type is set to `global`.
reverse_ptr string	Reverse PTR entry for this address. You cannot set a reverse PTR entry for IPv6 floating networks. Reverse PTR entries are only allowed for single addresses.
server string	UUID of the server assigned to this floating IP.
state string	State of the floating IP. Choices: present ← (default) absent
tags dictionary added in 1.1.0 of cloudscale_ch.cloud	Tags associated with the floating IP. Set this to `{}` to clear any tags.
type string	The type of the floating IP. Choices: regional ← (default) global

Notes 

Note

Once a floating_ip is created, all parameters except server, reverse_ptr and tags are read-only.
All operations are performed using the cloudscale.ch public API v1.
For details consult the full API documentation: https://www.cloudscale.ch/en/api/v1.
A valid API token is required for all operations. You can create as many tokens as you like using the cloudscale.ch control panel at https://control.cloudscale.ch.
