Static Outgoing IP Addresses for Control

Some customers have firewalled access to their Cloud provider portals, requiring that API requests to come from known IP addresses. For example, creating a new VM or deleting an existing one can only happen if the request comes from a whitelisted IP address as well as having appropriate credentials.

Control uses dynamic IP addresses by default, making whitelisting impractical. To deal with this, Workspot now offers a Static Outgoing IP Address optional feature to use known IP source addresses when making calls to the Cloud provider’s API.

Static Outgoing IP Selective Feature

  • Currently GCP-only.

  • Selective feature: contact Workspot to have it enabled.

  • Add the following Control Static IP addresses to their GCP API access firewall:

    • 54.175.230.252, 54.173.229.200

    • Control will contact your API from these addresses.

  • Control will now function normally.
