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.

Is it not possible to use keepalived in EC2

The problem is two of my EC2 instances (ha proxy) need to bind a single virtual IP if I want to use keepalived, but they are not possible in EC2 as only a single instance can use a elastic IP at a given time, so it is not possible, right?

Elastic IP is gone after cancelling AMI image creation

I created an AMI image, but cancelled it after 30 minutes of waiting. After that, my elastic IP which was assigned to the original instance is gone. It's not even in the Elastic IPs page. How do I fix this, and is it possible to get the IP back?

I have a few instances running on the Amazon cloud. Some are DB-servers, some are blogs and one has my webapp. The DB-servers don't have apache or any other web-servers installed. So will it be safe to allot an IP to the DB-Servers?
