Sample_of_creating_a_static_IP_in_GCP.ts

Is that also the case if property values that refer to an actual address are passed to `gcp.compute.getAddress`?

(i.e. rather than `{ name: 'foobar', region: 'us-central1', project: 'abcd' }` etc.)

<@U84HBHXS8> Yes that is the case. I would appreciate if you could try and recreate and post an example for creating a static IP.

<@UDEJ1F5SQ> Would you be able to help with this?

Are you meaning to use `gcp.compute.getAddress` to get an existing static IP? Or are you wanting to create a new static IP?

`getAddress` is a function to get a static IP that already exists

you need to create a new Address - e.g. `const ip = new gcp.compute.Address(...`

```
import * as pulumi from '@pulumi/pulumi';
import * as gcp from '@pulumi/gcp';

const ip = new gcp.compute.Address('prod', {
    name: 'foobar',
});

const prod = new gcp.dns.ManagedZone('prod', {
    dnsName: 'prod.mydomain.com.'
});

const frontend = new gcp.dns.RecordSet('frontend', {
    name: pulumi.interpolate `frontend.${prod.dnsName}`,
    managedZone: prod.name,
    rrdatas: [ip.address],
    ttl: 300,
    type: 'A'
});
```
