operationId: AssociateAddress
summary: Associate Address
description: Associates an Elastic IP address, or carrier IP address (for instances that are in subnets in Wavelength Zones) with an instance or a network interface. Before you can use an Elastic IP address, you must allocate it to your account. If the Elastic IP address is already associated with a different instance, it is disassociated from that instance and associated with the specified instance. If you associate an Elastic IP address with an instance that has an existing Elastic IP address, the existing address is disassociated from the instance, but remains allocated to your account. [Subnets in Wavelength Zones] You can associate an IP address from the telecommunication carrier to the instance or network interface. You cannot associate an Elastic IP address with an interface in a different network border group. This is an idempotent operation. If you perform the operation more than once, Amazon EC2 doesn't return an error, and you may be charged for each time the Elastic IP address is remapped to the same instance. For more information, see the Elastic IP Addresses section of Amazon EC2 Pricing.

operationId: ReleaseAddress
summary: Release Address
description: Releases the specified Elastic IP address. [Default VPC] Releasing an Elastic IP address automatically disassociates it from any instance that it's associated with. Alternatively, you can disassociate an Elastic IP address without releasing it. [Nondefault VPC] You must disassociate the Elastic IP address before you can release it. Otherwise, Amazon EC2 returns an error (InvalidIPAddress.InUse). After releasing an Elastic IP address, it is released to the IP address pool. Be sure to update your DNS records and any servers or devices that communicate with the address. If you attempt to release an Elastic IP address that you already released, you'll get an AuthFailure error if the address is already allocated to another Amazon Web Services account. After you release an Elastic IP address, you might be able to recover it. For more information, see Release an Elastic IP address.
