How to Get a Static Outbound IP on Pantheon
While working with clients and helping them create awesome websites, we’ve noticed a need for an outgoing static IP. Pantheon’s cloud architecture is awesome—based on Linux containers, it allows us to scale easily, migrate containers, restart them in just seconds without any customer impact, resize them, and so on. The downside of having such great flexibility is not being able to assign a fixed IP address to a container. This is sometimes needed by third-party applications that only accept connections from services they know about.
