This topic describes the managed rules that are related to Elastic IP Address (EIP) and the rectification methods that target at non-compliant EIPs.
Rule name: eip_attached
Checks whether an EIP under your account is attached to an instance.
Trigger type: configuration change
Applicable resource type: ACS::EIP::EipAddress
Input parameter: none
Non-compliance description: An EIP under your account is not attached to an instance.
Rectification method: Attach the EIP to a network address translation (NAT) gateway,
Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance, Server Load Balancer (SLB) instance, or secondary
Elastic Network Interface (ENI) instance. Cloud Config detects your modification and
automatically starts to evaluate the resource within 10 minutes. You can rectify resource
non-compliance in the EIP console or by calling the AssociateEipAddress operation.
- For more information about how to attach the EIP to a NAT gateway, a secondary ENI
instance, an ECS instance, or an SLB instance, see the following topics:
- ECS instance: Associate an Elastic IP address with an ECS instance
- NAT gateway: Bind an EIP to a NAT Gateway
- SLB instance: Bind an ElP to an SLB instance
- Secondary ENI instance: Overview
- You can also call the AssociateEipAddress operation to attach the EIP to an instance in the same region. For more information, see AssociateEipAddress.
