Overview

EIP

The Elastic IP (EIP) service provides independent public IP addresses and bandwidth for Internet access. Different from traditional static IP addresses, EIPs can be dynamically bound to or unbound from resources such as BMSs, ECSs, and NAT gateways. If a server becomes faulty, the EIP can be quickly unbound from it and bound to another healthy server to recover services.
