Elastic IP Runbook

The Elastic IP (EIP) Runbook is designed as a best practices user guide for using Elastic IPs.

• EIP Problem Scenarios

  • An instance with an Elastic IP failed 
  • I need to automatically assign an Elastic IP to an instance
  • I need to perform a software update
  • I need to switch my frontends from dynamic DNS to Elastic IPs
     

• EIP Recipes
  
  • Assign an Elastic IP at launch
  • Transfer an Elastic IP to a running instance
  • Assign an Elastic IP using the API 
  • Assign an Elastic IP after an instance is launched
  • Assign an Elastic IP to a stopped instance
  • Check to see if an instance is using an EIP
  • Disassociate an Elastic IP from a running instance?
