如何将 static 外部地址 IP 附加到 GCP Cloud TPU 虚拟机？

Question

I want to use a static reserved IP address with a Cloud TPU VM.

For a regular (non-TPU) Compute Engine instance, I can just use the web interface and go to the "External IP addresses" tab of the "VPC Network" page, select an existing external IP (or create a new one), and choose to attach it to a Compute Engine instance from the dropdown. However, my TPU VM does not show up in this same dropdown.

Is it possible to reserve and attach a static external IP address to my TPU VM by some other means?

Thanks!

EDIT: Here's what I see in the GCP web interface when I select the TPU VM:

Unfortunately you currently can't assign a static IP to a TPU VM yet like you can a GCE node (eg https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/ip-addresses/reserve-static-external-ip-address ).

This may be supported in the future though!
