Overview

EIP

An EIP is a public IP address that can be directly accessed over the Internet. An EIP consists of the public IP address and public network egress bandwidth. EIPs can be bound to or unbound from ECSs, BMSs, virtual IP addresses, NAT gateways, or load balancers. Various billing modes are provided to meet diversified service requirements.

Each EIP can be used by only one cloud resource at a time.
