Unable to release Elastic IP - but there's no rDNS involved

0

I am trying to release an Elastic IP address. Under the Actions button, the Release, Associate, and Disassociate options are all grayed out. How can I release this orphaned Elastic IP? I tried the option to clear the Reverse DNS, but received the message 'Update is not required for Public IP Address 3.225.0.88', so apparently a Reverse DNS isn't involved. Any suggestions?

Hello Mark,

Check perhaps the EIP is associated with a NAT-Gateway? if so you will need to delete the NAT-gateway first.

Also, take a look at the below KC article:

https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-address-errors/?nc1=h_ls

Specifically see the below note from the article:

Note: Removing the rDNS might take a few days to propagate through the system.

If none of this helps then suggest opening a Support case.
