Hi Clint,

see inline, please.

This is precisely the reason floating IPs that NAT to other IPs exists

fixed IPs).

Moving ports, moving the IP, they all involve a few layers of cache
invalidation and complex manipulation at the lower networking layers. But
changing a NAT destination is relatively instant.

I'd recommend you using a floating IP for this. If you can't, please
explain.
It's going to be public cloud and there can be few reasons to allow customer to move pubic IP address between his VMs, e.g. he built another VM using another OS for same role and need to move this role from old VM to new VM, do not changing other infrastructure's configurations.

Thanks.

Excerpts from Volodymyr Litovka's message of 2017-08-23 16:58:32 +0300:
Hi colleagues,

imagine, somebody (e.g. me :-) ) needs to transfer IP address between
two ports. The straight way is: release IP address and then assign it to
another port.

The possible problem with this way is time between release and
assignment - during this time, this IP address is in DHCP pool and can
be automatically assigned to some another port upon request.

Any ideas how to prevent leasing this IP address during this time?

Thank you.
