An IP address is assigned from the pool of addresses when a managed VM NIC is
created; the address is released back to the pool when the VM NIC or VM is
deleted. Be sure to work with your network team to reserve a range of addresses
for VMs before enabling the IPAM feature to avoid address overlap.
