Elastic Compute Service:AllocatePublicIpAddress

Last Updated:Mar 19, 2024

Assigns a public IP address to an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance.

Operation description

Take note of the following items:

  • The instance to which you want to assign a public IP address must be in the Running or Stopped state.````
  • If OperationLocks in the response of the DescribeInstances operation contains "LockReason" : "security" for an instance, the instance is locked for security reasons and cannot be assigned a public IP address.
  • You can assign only one public IP address to an instance. If the instance already has a public IP address, the AllocatedAlready error is returned.
  • After you assign a public IP address to an instance, you must restart the instance ( RebootInstance ) or start the instance ( StartInstance ) to make the public IP address take effect.

If an instance resides in a virtual private cloud (VPC), you can assign a public IP address to the instance or associate an elastic IP address (EIP) with the instance. For more information, see AssociateEipAddress .

Note After you associate an EIP with an instance that resides in a VPC, you cannot assign a public IP address to the instance.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.
