They&#8217;re useful when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You need fixed public IPs for whitelisting ( in a firewall)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You&#8217;re deploying public-facing services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You&#8217;re using high availability architectures (multiple NAT Gateways across Availability Zones)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, AWS allows only 5 EIPs per region per account, which may not be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;If you try to allocate more than your quota allows, you&#8217;ll get an error like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AddressLimitExceeded: The maximum number of addresses has been reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, you can request an increase to this quota and it\u2019s easy to do via the AWS Management Console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\" id=\"h-increase-elastic-ip-quota-using-aws-console\"><strong>Increase Elastic IP Quota Using AWS Console<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how you can request a service quota increase using the AWS Console, specifically to increase the number of Elastic IPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\" id=\"h-1-open-the-service-quotas-console\">\u00a01. Open the Service Quotas Console<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Navigate to the Service Quotas dashboard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/console.aws.amazon.com\/servicequotas\">https:\/\/console.aws.amazon.com\/servicequotas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\" id=\"h-2-search-for-the-eip-quota\">2. Search for the EIP Quota<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Search bar, type \u201cElastic IP\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then look for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EC2 \u2013 Elastic IP addresses per region<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on it to open the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\" id=\"h-3-request-a-quota-increase\">3. Request a Quota Increase<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click the &#8220;Request quota increase&#8221; button.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the desired number of EIPs .<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit the request.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your request will usually be approved quickly.Sometimes within minutes, though it can take up to 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your request is approved,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can immediately allocate more Elastic IPs up to the new quota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new quota will be visible in the Service Quotas dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No need to restart or modify any existing services, the quota increase is a background change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Please note that AWS charges a small hourly fee for any Elastic IP that is not associated with a running resource. So avoid leaving EIPs unused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding and increasing AWS Service Quotas is essential for scaling your cloud infrastructure efficiently.
