* Objective: Ensure only front-end Compute Engine instances have public IPs, while others do not.
* Solution: Use an organization policy to enforce this requirement.
* Steps:
* Step 1: Open the Google Cloud Console.
* Step 2: Navigate to the Organization Policies page.
* Step 3: Create a new policy with the constraint constraints/compute.requireOsLogin (or similar constraint to manage public IPs).
* Step 4: Define the conditions to allow public IPs only for the front-end instances.
* Step 5: Apply the policy to the organization or specific projects as necessary.
By setting up an organization policy with specific conditions, you can control which instances are allowed to have public IPs based on their role or other attributes.
