How to Migrate a Cloud Workload That Uses a Fixed Outbound IP Address

11/10/2026

Partners may allow a service connection only from a known outbound IP address. A cloud migration can change the egress path even when the application hostname and inbound traffic stay the same.

What to check

Map outbound destinations and allowlists, identify NAT gateways and regional egress, and confirm which background jobs use the fixed address. Check whether partner endpoints distinguish source IP from application identity.

Recommended next step

Plan a stable egress address or coordinate allowlist updates before cutover. Test outbound connections from each workload path, retain a rollback option, and avoid broad firewall openings as a workaround.
