Hi, This patch will bring support for 'Addresses' collection to API, which means that you can set a public/private IP address to your instance if backend provider support that. For now I added support only to EC2 driver and once this patch will be ACKed, i'll add support for the addresses to GoGrid driver.
So basic notes of how this thing work: * GET /api/addresses List of IP addresses you have * POST /api/addresses Create a new address (in EC2, allocate a new Elastic IP address) * DELETE /api/addresses/:id Destroy IP address (release in EC2) * PUT /api/addresses/:id/associate Get 'instance_id' parameter (means it will associate given IP address with given instance) * POST /api/addresses/:id/release 'Disassociate' IP address from the instance. To test this stuff, you can go to /api/addresses and hit 'Create' button. New IP address should be spawned immediatelly. You can get XML representation by including ?format=xml in URI. After you click on IP, you can associate a running instance to it. 'RUNNING' is important here, otherwise you will get backend error. Let me know what do you thing. -- Michal
