This article explains how to configure Static IPs through the Crusoe Console, CLI, and Terraform . The process is seamless and does not interrupt running VMs.

Steps:

Crusoe Console:

Impact : Non-disruptive toggle to static IP without downtime.

1. Navigate to the Public IP section of the VM details.
2. Toggle the IP type from Dynamic to Static.
3. Steps with screenshots:
   1. Initial state with a Dynamic public IP:
   
   2. Select Static from the drop-down menu:
   
   3. Confirm the public IP is now Static
   

Using Crusoe CLI

Impact : Immediate update applies to the running VM seamlessly.

1. Run the following command to update the public IP type.
   

   crusoe compute vms update <vm-name> --public-ip-type static

2. Example:
   
   

Using Terraform

Impact : Changes are managed in-place. Use lifecycle policies to avoid unintentional resource re-creation.

1. Modify the Terraform configuration to set the public IP type as Static.
   

   resource "crusoe_compute_instance" "h100_vm" {
   .
   .
   .
   network_interfaces = [
    {
      public_ipv4 = {
        type = "static"
      }
     }
    ]
   }

2. Steps with Screenshots:
   
   1. Initial state with Dynamic IP, change it to static: 
      
   
   2. Apply changes 
   
   
   
   

Note: Private IPs are always static and unaffected by these changes.
