Additional IP addresses, also called Failover IP or Floating IP addresses in the cloud industry, enhance service continuity (“failover”) for your applications and systems. With Additional IP, you can reassign the IP addresses from one service to another in less than a minute, with almost no service interruption for your users. This mechanism can be used during service migrations, moving projects from development to production environments, and switching services to a backup server in the event of an incident. Additional IP addresses are available as individual addresses (/32) or as IP address blocks (up to /24).
