Yeah, that's an elastic IP, check under EC2. People forget to clean them up after shutting down the instance (probably kept in case you want to keep your IP)

- therockspush 5y agoIt's crazy that it's so common, but that they wouldn't make that obvious. Considering the whole IPv4 extinction that's coming down and all.
- WrtCdEvrydy 5y agoSo an elastic IP is just an AWS provided IP that they hand over to you... it's free while your instance is running but if you stop your instance, you get a small bill (it's like $0.84 a month)
- TheFlyingFish 5y agoI will gladly welcome the eventual IPv4 extinction, but unfortunately I'm pretty confident it won't happen for another 30 years.
- farnsworth 5y agoI don't have any elastic IPs. The only thing under EC2 is a security group that it won't let me delete, but seems like no resources. My bill this month is $2.88 /shrug
