Abstract
A technology is described for assigning a logical private network address to a computing instance. An example method may include obtaining a preserved logical private network address associated with a customer account so that the preserved logical private network address may be assigned as a logical private network address to a computing instance located in a computing service environment. The logical private network address may be used for network communications within a physical host containing the computing instance and the logical private network address may translate to a physical private network address used for network communications outside of the physical host and within the computing service environment. A network address record for the computing instance may be identified that associates the logical private network address with the physical private network address, and the network address record may be updated by setting the preserved logical private network address associated with the customer account as the logical private network address.
