public ip vs static ip vs elastic ip

Public IP addresses identify internet-connected devices on the public internet, while Static IP addresses remain constant and are essential for advertising content in dynamic environments. Elastic IP addresses, specific to AWS, combine the features of public and static IPs to maintain communication during infrastructure changes. The choice between these IP types depends on business needs and network design considerations.

Public IP Addresses
• A Public IP address is how the internet
identifies you. A public IP address is the
IP address that communicates your
internet connected device to the public
internet.

• An Elastic IP has the public IP address


component, as you need to advertise
your AWS instances to the public
internet. As the AWS Elastic IP will
advertise a public, static IP address
that can compensate for fluctuations
in your AWS infrastructure, they are
necessary in dynamic cloud
computing.
What is a Static IP?
• This is an IP address that never
changes. If you are running a dynamic
cloud environment, this would be
necessary for advertising your content
to the public internet. This is a primary
function of AWS Elastic IPs, which
contain the static IP address
component.

• A static IP is useful for various


reasons. In cloud computing, a static IP
address is advantageous for DNS
queries. If IPs are changing, this can
affect the content loading process.
• Static IP addresses are IPs which do
not change. They are common for
business and cloud computing, which is
why AWS includes this withi n the Elastic
IP framework.
What is an Elastic IP?
• Elastic IP addresses are used by AWS to
manage its dynamic cloud computing
services.

• Within the AWS infrastructure, customers


have virtual private clouds (VPCs). Within
the VPCs, users have instances. The
Elastic IP address is what is used to
advertise the data within the instance to
the public internet.

• If an instance goes down within AWS,


you want to maintain your IP address, as
well as maintain communication with your
AWS account.
The Public, Static, and
Elastic IP Debate
• The debate between what IP address is
right for your business comes down to
necessity.
• What are you trying to accomplish?
• We have said this in a few other
networking posts, and the common
thought for network design is:
"it depends".
• Having an understanding of the different
IP address structures available to you can
help you make better decisions.
• With your AWS Elastic IP address, you
have all the requirements for dynamic
cloud computing.
