GCP Compute Public Delegated Prefix

A Public Delegated Prefix is a regional Google Cloud resource that represents a block of publicly routable IPv4 addresses which Google has assigned to your project. Once created, the prefix (or portions of it) can be further delegated to other projects or VPC networks and ultimately assigned to individual VM instances, load balancers, or other services. Managing prefixes in this way allows you to control and audit public IP usage across large, multi-project environments.

A Public Delegated Prefix is owned by, and therefore linked to, the Google Cloud project in which it is created. Overmind links the prefix to its parent project so you can trace IP address ownership back to the project level.

Public Delegated Prefixes can be hierarchical: a larger prefix may act as the parent of one or more smaller delegated sub-prefixes. Overmind links related prefixes together, letting you navigate between parent and child Public Delegated Prefix resources.
