Add option for Static IPs in Host Pool Settings

Avatar

I was recently doing some work for one of our NME (Nerdio Enterprise) customers where they have a requirement to change the Dynamic IP assignment (of the host NIC) to Static in Azure for each host in every host pool.
Instead of needing to go into each VM in the Azure portal to make this change, it would be nice to have the option to have Nerdio do it at a host pool level so when the host is created, it would get a Dynamic IP and then change it to static.

I also see it being useful for Servers that are created/managed in Nerdio too. 🙂

I'm sure we could award extra bonus points to Nerdio if they were able to set the Static IP info (based on the Azure VM IP info) at the OS level.🤓

We also have a scenario where we need to assign static IP addresses to AVD hosts for specific agencies.

Welcome to the community, Jason Lucas 🙂!

Can you add a little more detail on your use-case for setting static IPs on your hosts?
Generally, hosts are seen as "disposable", but some partners do treat them more as traditional RDS servers.
I could see maybe needing a static IP if you're treating one host as a server (in a serverless environment) or if maybe some software requires a static IP, but I'd be curious to learn about your use-case.

In this case it was for whitelisting connectivity to backend servers, but we've presented a different solution to them that will eliminate the need for a static IP and are currently working to implement that.

Ahh. That's a very good use case.
Depending on the software, you could work around that by using an IP range, but it sounds like you have a different solution already.
Either way, it'll be great to get the feature added 🙂
