1.1 What is an Elastic IP

An Elastic IP is a dynamic IP address associated with a computing resource in a cloud infrastructure, which can be easily assigned and reassigned to resources dynamically. It allows you to associate a dynamic IP address with a cloud resource, enabling reliable access to resources from the Internet.

An Elastic IP can ensure service continuity in case of cloud infrastructure scalability, allowing the dynamic IP address to be easily and instantly associated with new resources.

Using an Elastic IP enhances the availability, scalability, and flexibility of a cloud infrastructure, simplifying resource management and improving the end-user experience.
