Cant get more than 6 elastic public ip addresses

1

I have 6 elastic public IP addresses asociated each with one of my 6 EC2 instances, one for each server. I would like to get/asociate one more elastic public ip address for a 7th instance but I get: Elastic IP address could not be allocated. The maximum number of addresses has been reached. I have no clue how to solve this, please any hint will be great!

Thanks

  • I’d be interested to understand your requirements for all these elastic ips in case there’s a better approach.

  • Hi Gary, I might know that I can use NAT instead of several Public IP addresses, but I got to this deployment already done by another IT guy that didnt got in mind other options. What do you recommend? NAT? now we have several servers with separated services that need to be access from internet, so what do you recommend? thanks.

You need to request for EC2 service quota increase

Login to your AWS console, go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/home/services/ec2/quotas/L-0263D0A3. This should be the EC2-VPC Elastic IPs page. Make sure this is the correct Region, and click Request quota increase:

Hello.

I think that error is related to the service quota limit for Elastic IP addresses.
I think the solution is to request a higher limit for this service quota than your current account limit.

Please follow the steps in the document below to request a limit increase.
Also, when applying, it is done by region, so please change to the region you are using before applying.
