A dedicated public subnet is a public subnet made up of an IP address range that will be available to your servers in the selected pools.

You can lease a new dedicated public subnet or convert an existing ephemeral public subnet to a dedicated one.

Leasing a new dedicated public subnet

Management console

In the management console, select the folder where you want to reserve a dedicated public subnet.
In the list of services, select BareMetal.
In the left-hand panel, select Public addresses and subnets.
At the top right, click Order a public subnet.
In the Availability zone field, select the availability zone where the subnet will be available.
In the Pool field, select the pools where the subnet will be available.

You can link a dedicated public subnet to multiple pools at once.

In the management console, you can only order subnets of size /29 (six available IP addresses) and /28 (14 available IP addresses). If you need a larger public subnet, contact support to request it.
