Predefined Mac-Adresses for MachineDeployments
/kind feature
Describe the solution you'd like In some of our environments we need predefined Mac-Adresses for DHCP to work. For the controlplane this currently works fine, as i can just populate the MacAddr-Filed in the VSphereMachine with the "correct" Mac. However, for MachineDeployments and VSphereMachineTemplates this currently doesnt work, as i cant preselect a mac there. Thus i would propose a feature where i can add a predefined Range of Mac-Adresses that get used by CAPV when creating the actual Machines from the VSphereMachineTemplate.
Unfortunately, the currently described approach will not work for control plane Machines with the KubeadmControlPlane introduced in v1alpha3, it will behave a bit more like MachineDeployments in that a template is used for stamping out the Machines that comprise the control plane.
@detiber - we might want some sort of IPAM when you want to use a pre-defined subnet for machines

+1, I think IPAM is probably a better approach here, since it is likely to work in a wider range of environments

#728 is a feature request for an out-of-band static IP mechanism, and it's being implemented in #957. This is external IPAM integration, but not specifically MAC addresses. Would that work for you @MaxRink (you'd have to find/implement an IPAM controller)?

I think this is obsoleted by the IPAM provider.
@MaxRink , reopen if you think you still need this.
@randomvariable: Closing this issue.
