Lab 4:To Assign Elastic IP Address

                                                Lab 4:To Assign Elastic IP Address

Elastic Ip:

Note :Since public ip given by AWS is not permanent ,if the instance is stopped or started again,existing public ip is released by instance,in this case  users across internet again cannot visit the same website ,so to have permanent public ip,assign Elastic ip.

Note: If your instance  is terminated or not in use,and Elastic ip is not released then in this case it will be charged,so be careful if you are using and running under free tier usage.

Best practise is launch an instance assign Elastic ip,and before terminating release Elastic ip then terminate the instance.
