AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 468

By default, how many Elastic IP addresses can you have per region for your EC2 instances?

Answer options

• A. 10
• B. 2
• C. 20
• D. 5

Correct answer: D

Explanation

By default, Amazon Web Services limits accounts to 5 Elastic IP addresses per region to prevent IP address hoarding. If a use case requires more, customers can easily request a limit increase through the Service Quotas console. The other options (10, 2, and 20) are incorrect as they do not represent the standard initial limit set by AWS.
