I Can't associate one of my Elastic IPs

0

Hi guys, I have problems associating one disassociated Elastic IP (52.5.231.106) to an EC2 instance. All the actions are unavailable (associate, disassociate, release etc...) . I'm using my admin account and only happens with this specific Elastic Ip. Maybe it's blocked ?

Thank you.

Hello, Can you check if your EIP is already attached to any Network Interface (like that of a NAT Gateway)? You can do this by going to your console, navigate to VPC and search for Elastic IPs option. Look for your EIP (52.5.231.106) and check the Summary section.

    Okay, so this is why you are unable to associate that EIP with your instance. You can allocate a new EIP and attach that to your instance as you cannot disassociate an Elastic IP address from a NAT gateway after it's created. To use a different Elastic IP address for your NAT gateway, you must create a new NAT gateway with the required address, update your route tables, and then delete the existing NAT gateway if it's no longer required.
