Questions tagged [amazon-elastic-ip]

AWS Elastic IP addresses (EIP) allow the assignment of public static IPv4 addresses to resources, generally EC2 instances. An EIP can be remapped quickly, which allows the user to mask the failure of instances or software.

An Elastic IP Address (EIP) is a public static IPv4 address, which is reachable from the Internet. You can associate an Elastic IP address with your EC2 instance to enable communication with the Internet; for example, to connect to your instance from your local computer.

Elastic IPs provide resource mobility within a single VPC within a single AWS region, assisting with architecting fault tolerant applications. An unallocated EIP incurs charges.

Questions specifically dealing with AWS' Elastic IP should use this tag.

What is the best practise for assigning an EC2 EIP after starting an instance?

I would like to auto-assign an EIP to an instance when it is started. I know I can write a script to stop/start the instance and assign the EIP I want using the EC2 tools, but that depends on me stopping/starting the server. In the case of an EC2…
