Static IP for Oracle VM instance and rDNS set up in OCI

Question

How can we get static IPs for a OCI VM instance? Also, how can I configure reverse DNS for this Oracle-owned IP address?

I have visited https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/DNS/Tasks/reversedns.htm but this seems to create a DNS zone and record for normal forward zones. How will Oracle update the reverse DNS zones in their zone files?

The Public IP address assigned to the VM stays with it all through the life-cycle of the Instance until it is terminated. So one way, it is already static/permanent. The other option is to use Reserved IP addresses.

Could you check this link for rDNS question? Looks like it is very similar if not same.
