ec2 run-instances and associate static IP address in one step?

Question

Is it possible to launch an EC2 instance and associate an IP address in one step? Or does one need to manually do it after it's up?

This must be done separately. (Padding)

What does "Padding" supposed to mean? – hendry Jul 10 '16 at 14:22
Padding out my short answer so that it's long enough to get through the SE minimum answer length requirement. – EEAA Jul 10 '16 at 14:23
I'm generally not in favor of very short answers, but in cases like these, a short answer is all that is required. – EEAA Jul 10 '16 at 14:24
Some reasoning behind it would make for a better answer. – hendry Jul 11 '16 at 01:34
How about "because the AWS API doesn't support it". :) If it did, the CLI tools would allow you to do this already. – EEAA Jul 11 '16 at 01:35
