Independent IP Resource & Flexible Management
An EIP is a NAT IP address that is located in the Internet gateway of Alibaba Cloud and mapped to the associated cloud resource through NAT. After a cloud resource is associated with an EIP, the cloud resource can communicate with the Internet through the EIP.
● A public IP address that can be independently owned
● Works with ECS instances, NAT gateways, and internal-facing SLB instances in a VPC
● Associates with a cloud resource or disassociates from a cloud resource when necessary
● Allows you to migrate IP addresses to Alibaba Cloud with insignificant changes to the system architecture

Scenarios
Migrate IPv4 addresses to Alibaba Cloud and reuse elastic bandwidth
1. The whitelist services and system architecture depend on IP addresses, regulations, and compliance requirements.
2. The current network connections have high network latency and poor scalability, and cannot meet market requirements.
Elastic IP Address allows you to:
-
Migrate public IP addresses to Alibaba Cloud without changes. This reduces migration costs and losses
Recommended Use
Use anycast to achieve Internet acceleration worldwide
Application servers are deployed in Area A, and users are located in Area B. Users require real-time interactions and low network latency.
Elastic IP Address allows you to:
-
Provide real-time interactive services for users in different countries worldwide and improves the user experience
Recommended Use
Reduce network latency for Mainland China users
Since web services are deployed in China (Hong Kong) and users are in Mainland China, network latency is high.
Elastic IP Address allows you to:
-
Optimize access for Mainland China users
Recommended Use
