A simple and dumb program to assign and track IPs in a specified subnet. Created to support CI/CD pipelines that require assignment and tracking of static IP addresses. An example usage scenario is supporting multiple Git branches in a single project that creates a number of Virtual Machines per branch so that developers can easily test their work prior to submitting merge requests.
For example, there is a GitLab project with 3 virtual machines that use static IPs and all share a test database, so they need to be on the same subnet. Simply making branch/tag a key parameter will allow that happen:
BRANCH_IPS=$(java -jar claimcloudip-<version>.jar -g 3 -k ${CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG} -c 192.168.0.0/24)- Requires JRE 8
- To keep IP allocation data between builds, ensure that configuration of this
program (parameter
-f) is persistent.
