ip_address is optional. Customer Gateways using public key authentication instead of pre-shared key do not require static IP address.

See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_CreateCustomerGateway.html

@dthvt that is true, so instead of this being an issue of documentation, this should probably be a bug request.
