What is IPAM?

IP Address Manager (IPAM) is Scaleway's tool for planning, tracking, and managing the IP address space of Scaleway products. It acts as a single source of truth for the IP addresses of Scaleway resources. Managed products, such as Databases and Load Balancer, are fully integrated into IPAM, and Private Networks' DHCP server uses IPAM to assign private, static IP addresses to attached resources.

What can I do with IPAM?

The public rollout of IPAM functionality is being carried out gradually. IPAM is now in General Availability, offering several different functionalities in the Scaleway console, including viewing, tagging and filtering all your private IP addresses. You can also reserve a private IP on one of your Private Networks and use it to attach a specified resource to the network.

Management of public (flexible) IP addresses with IPAM is planned for the future.

Can I use a reserved private IP to attach any kind of managed resource to a Private Network?

Currently, the Scaleway console only supports attachment with a reserved IP for Instances, Load Balancers, Public Gateways, and Elastic Metal servers. Support for Managed Databases will be coming soon.

Can I use a reserved private IP with a virtual machine hosted on my Elastic Metal server?

Yes, this functionality is now available via the Scaleway console and API. See how to reserve a private IP address with an attached MAC address.
