OCI Kubernetes Engine (OKE) support for assigning reserved public IPv6 addresses to load balancers
- Services: Kubernetes Engine
- Release Date: May 21, 2026
You can now use the oci.oraclecloud.com/reserved-ips annotation to assign a reserved public IPv6 address to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure load balancer that Kubernetes Engine provisions for a Kubernetes service of type LoadBalancer.
To assign a reserved public IPv6 address, specify a reserved public IPv4 address and reserved public IPv6 address as a comma-separated list in the annotation. The reserved public IPv6 address must belong to the same subnet in which the load balancer is created, and the service manifest must specify both IPv6 and IPv4 address families. Reserved public IPv6 addresses are supported in clusters running Kubernetes version 1.32 and later.
Reserved public IPv6 addresses are not supported for network load balancers or with the spec.loadBalancerIP field.
