Getting charged Elastic IP - How to release or use it
Hi,
I'm using a TLKAPP server on AWS (via hup.turnkeylinux.org), and I've got an issue:
I'm getting charged for an un-used Elastic-IP.
Now this is what I've done:
Within the server section, I clicked on "Associate Elastic IP". This gave me an error, saying that my server is part of a VPC, and therfore can't have an elastic IP associated. I thought nothing more of it, until I got a bill.
Now I've looked through the EC2 section of AWS console and the VPC section, and neither seem to think that I've got an elastic IP allocated.
I also can't see any elastic IP management features within the hub.turnkey console.
If I select "Associate with Elastic IP" again, then I see that I seem to have one elastic IP, but I see no way to get tot he management features to release it.
Any Ideas?.
So it seems that the way to find it is via the AWS console
I needed to select the correct region, then it appeared in the EC2 console, and once I'd found it it was easy enough to release.
