With IP address allocation resources, you can allocate IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses from a specified network by creating a host record. The allocated IP addresses are then assigned to the interface of an instance created in a cloud environment, after which a VM is created. If required, you may integrate the VM with the corresponding host record in NIOS as described in *[IP Address Association](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ipamdriverterraform/pages/53121336)*.

Use the *[infoblox_ip_allocation](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ipamdriverterraform/pages/53121460)* resource to allocate IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses.
