channel poll: we have a client that needs dev ops talent (migration from Rackspace to AWS, and is using tools like Ansible and Terraform); if anyone knows anyone, or you're looking for work yourself, please PM me
Aram: 1) yes, it is instantly provisioned, 2) no, you need to use an IP from your already provisioned block.  If you're out of IPs, then email support@ to request more
^ I can confirm: emailing support@ for a large IP block is a rewarding experience.
