Assigns an Internet IP address to an instance.

Description

When you call this interface, consider the following:

  • Before assigning an Internet IP address, the instance must be in the Running or Stopped status.
  • If a VPC-Connected instance has an EIP allocated, you cannot assign an Internet IP address to it
  • You can assign only one Internet IP address to the instance. If the instance has an Internet IP address, an error AllocatedAlready is returned.
  • After you restart the instance (RebootInstance) or start the instance (StartInstance), the assigned Internet IP address becomes effective.
  • If the specified instance is locked, and the OperationLocks of the instance indicates "LockReason" : "security", your request is denied.

To assign an Internet IP address to a VPC-Connected instance, you can also allocate an Elastic IP (EIP) to the instance. For more information, see AssociateEipAddress.
