Private vs Public vs Elastic IPΒΆ
By default, your AWS EC2 machine comes with: - A private IP for internal AWS network - A public IP for the [[internet]]
When we are doing ssh into our AWS EC2 machines: - We can't use a private IP, because we are not in the same network - We can only use the public IP
If your machine is stopped and then started, the public IP can change
When viewing the EC2 instance, we can see these IP addresses:
You can also visit the Elastic IPs section and allocate new Elastic IP addresses.
Once it's created, we can associate it with an instance.
