When should an elastic IP be used instead of a public IP for an EC2 instance?

Question

Mahesh B · Accepted Answer

Use an Elastic IP instead of a public IP for an EC2 instance when you need a static IP address, require quick reassignment for high availability, need consistent access for services, or have compliance requirements for IP whitelisting. Elastic IPs provide greater control and reliability for public-facing applications.
