A question comes up often of how can a static IP be set for workloads running in TKG. The answer is generally “It depends” and then followed by a series of questions about why it’s needed and if there are alternatives that could be done etc. In many scenarios, this is needed so that workloads running in a container on TKG can be identified by an external firewall and be allowed to talk to some external service. For example, maybe a workload needs to get access to a particular database and it has a strict access policy based on IP.
