Day 4 : Allocate Elastic IP

Welcome back guys. Today we will learn how to allocate Elastic IP in AWS. In this lab you need to create one Elastic IP and name sould be datacenter-eip.

What is an Elastic IP (EIP) ?

• A permanent public IPv4 address.

• Stays the same even if your EC2 instance is stopped or rebooted.

• You can move it between instances in your account.

• Useful for applications that need a fixed public IP (e.g., DNS records, external integrations, whitelisting).

When to Use an EIP ?

Use an Elastic IP when your application needs:

✔ A stable public IP for:

• DNS mapping (yourdomain.com → fixed IP)

• Production servers that must always be reachable

• SSH access from fixed IP

• API integrations that require whitelisting

So let’s get started.
