I would like to propose enhancing current EIP functionality (currently available in basic zone). I have made a case for this feature earlier [2] and captured requirements in the feature bug [2]. This proposal would like to introduce following functionality.
1. EIP service with in 'advanced' zone where acquired zone level public IP can be 'static nat' to any instance account owns in that zone. 2. to introduce a new category of public IP called 'EIP' that are provisioned by admin at region level and are available for user consumption 3. to provide EIP service across zones (both basic and advanced) where acquired region level public IP can be 'static nat' to any instance an account owns in that region. I would like to seek the feedback on the functional requirements and design. FS is available at [3].
