Binding and Unbinding an EIP

Scenarios

You can bind an EIP to a DB instance for public accessibility, and you can unbind the EIP from the DB instance later if needed.

Precautions

• You can buy an EIP on the network console and bind it to a FlexusRDS instance. One EIP can be bound to only one instance. For pricing details, see Elastic IP pricing details.
• If a DB instance has already been bound with an EIP, you must unbind the EIP from the instance first before binding a new EIP to it.
