Hello, I would like to add a reserved public IP to an already created instance in Oracle Cloud, but I don't know how to obtain the OCID of the private IP. Any ideas?

does this work?
<https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/oci/api-docs/core/getpublicip/>

I am trying with the following function but it gives me this error.

def get_private_ip (private_ip,subnet_id):
        try:
         private_ips_by_ip_address = oci.core.get_private_ips(ip_address=private_ip,subnet_id=subnet_id)
        except Exception as error:
            print("Get Private IP OCID " + str(error))

Get Private IP OCID get can only be used with classes decorated with @input_type or @output_type

"What are @input_type or @output_type?" :sweat_smile:

they are Pulumi constructs for a resource that has returned from an API

you can’t really `try/catch` with Pulumi, that’s an imperative operation

what are the values of `private_ip` and `subnet_id` set to?

```def get_private_ip (private_ip: str ,subnet_id: str):
   return oci.core.get_private_ips(ip_address=private_ip,subnet_id=subnet_id)```
This should work
