allocate_ip: Allocate/Release IP Addresses

In HanjoStudy/awsR: Amazon Web Services EC2 Client Package

Description

Allocate or release VPC or standard IP Address

Usage

allocate_ip(domain = c("vpc", "standard"), ...)

release_ip(ip, ...)

Arguments

domain	Optionally, a character string specifying “vpc” or “standard”.
...	Additional arguments passed to [ec2HTTP()].
ip	An object of class “ec2_ip” or an allocationId (for a VPC IP) or publicIp (for a standard IP).

Details

This function is used to allocate IP addresses either to EC2 classic (if it is available on your account; see account_attrs()) or on a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). The default for new AWS EC2 accounts is only to be able to create VPC configurations. Due to limitations in the IPv4 universe, users are typically restricted to 5 IP addresses, which can dynamically be allocated to instances via a VPC. Use associate_ip()/disassociate_ip() to link an IP address to a specific instance.

Value

For allocate_ip, a list containing the IP address. For release_ip, a logical.
