AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 238

A user has recently started using EC2. The user launched one EC2 instance in the default subnet in EC2-VPC Which of the below mentioned options is not attached or available with the EC2 instance when it is launched?

Answer options

• A. Public IP address
• B. Internet gateway
• C. Elastic IP
• D. Private IP address

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Elastic IP, because it is a static public IP that must be allocated separately and associated with an instance. In contrast, when an EC2 instance is launched in a default VPC subnet, it automatically gets a private IP address and can also receive a public IP address, but an Internet gateway is needed for internet access.
