AWS Elastic IP addresses are like reserved parking spots for your instances.


They're great for keeping a consistent public IP, but here's the catch: you pay for them even when they're not associated with a running instance.

It's like paying for a parking spot 24/7, even when your car's in the garage.

Don't let those unused Elastic IPs inflate your bill!

Question for you:

How do you manage Elastic IP addresses to avoid unnecessary costs?
