GCP VPC: Preview for reserved static IPv6 addresses from BYOIP
Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is now in preview for reserving static external IPv6 addresses sourced from Bring Your Own IP addresses (BYOIP) sub-prefixes. This allows assignment to forwarding rules for external passthrough Network Load Balancers and external protocol forwarding, and enables promoting ephemeral BYOIP addresses to static. The feature is available for users with BYOIP configurations.
