                                                       Lab 8:Assigning an Elastic ip

What is Elastic IP?

  It is a static ip address designed for dynamic cloud computing.

Why we use: For example if you stop an instance and restart it the ip address of an instance got change .If  you don't want happen like that you can assign an elastic ip.If you stop and start the instance it won't change the address.

Since public ip given by aws is not permanent ,if the instance is stopped or started again,existing,public ip is released by the instance ,instance ,in the case users across internet again cannot visit the same website ,

so to permanent public ip,assign elastic ip.
