Binding an EIP to a GeminiDB DynamoDB-Compatible Instance Node

Elastic IP provides independent public IP addresses and bandwidth for public access. After a GeminiDB DynamoDB-Compatible instance is created, you can bind an EIP to the instance to access it over a public network. You can also unbind the EIP from the instance.

Usage Notes

  • To change the EIP that has been bound to a node, unbind it from the node first.
