Can I migrate AWS elastic IP from a region to another region?


Currently I am having t2-micro instance in Frankfurt(eu-ceentral-1). Now I want to migrate from this region to another i.e. Frankfurt-Mumbai. For that I am using AMI and Snapshot but it needs to create new instance which will use new elastic IP but I want to use same elastic IP which I am using in Frankfurt region. Is there a way I can do so???

Not getting solution for the same aws elastic IP migration from one region to another.


Solution

  • An Elastic IP address is static; it does not change over time. An Elastic IP address is for use in a specific Region only, and cannot be moved to a different Region.
