SUMMARY

When a Guest Network was created, the port forward and load balancer features only allow to be configure with pre-existing VM in same Guest Network. Sometime user will deploy self managed virtual ip address to support their application such as keepalived, MetalLB..etc. Today, the user will add a secondary NIC to the one of VM instance and then use the assigned NIC ip address to treat the virtual ip setup. Most of the time, it is unavoidable to use this appoarch when LB pool health check limit to L4 port checking.

I'm wondering if ACS can implement IPAM management abstract under guest network to allow user create IP entities which will able to include into port forwarding or Load balancer member.

@levindecaro can you describe how administration of the IPs in cloudstack would work in your opinion?

• how are they added
• how are they assigned for use in the loadbalancer configuration
• what is the ownership like (account/domain based)
