How to Create External IP Address on Google Cloud Platform.

Static internal IPs provide the ability to reserve internal IP addresses from the IP range configured in the subnet, then assign those reserved internal addresses to resources as needed. Reserving an internal IP address takes that address out of the dynamic allocation pool and prevents it from being used for automatic allocations.

Reserving static internal IP addresses requires specific IAM permissions so that only authorized users can reserve a static internal IP address.
