Manage Elastic IP Addresses

Your Eucalyptus cloud can offer elastic IP addresses that you can associate with your running instances. This page allows you to view a list of your available elastic IP addresses, allocate new elastic IP addresses, associate and disassociate elastic IP addresses with running instances, and release elastic IP addresses.
