Specify IP range in deploy templates

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When defining deploy templates for self service usage. While we can specify a network to use, we cannot limit deployment to a range of IP addresses within the network.

The reason we need this is because currently multiple projects can be configured with the same network, but the reservations are not cross polinated. As a result IP addresses allocations during self service deployments needs more granular control.

    Hey Barry - thanks for the request. I've marked this as "planned for the future" as the pain point you describe will be solved in an upcoming release, although not exactly by specifying an IP range in the deploy templates. The issue you call out stems from the fact that, at present, PowerVC networks can't be shared across multiple projects. Once you can share a network across the various projects, you won't run into the overlap concerns that you call out and this should then be non-existent... and in fact, less administrator work since you just define the network once, and you're done!

    Hope this helps!
