Stop Paying $3.75 Per Month for a Public IPv4 Address on AWS (Starting Feb 1, 2024)

As you would have read in <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-public-ipv4-address-charge-public-ip-insights/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">AWS News Blog</a>, starting February 1, 2024, there’s a new charge for public IPv4 addresses. Now, every public IPv4 address will come with a price tag of $0.005 per IP per hour or $3.75 per month or $45 per year. And yes, that applies whether the address is attached to a service or not. Now, let’s dive into the ‘why’ of it all. The cost of snagging a single public IPv4 address has shot up by over 300% in the last half-decade. So, AWS is adjusting its charges to reflect this reality and to, well, nudge us towards a more economical approach to these IPv4 addresses. In other words, they’re encouraging us to be a bit more mindful of our usage and consider adopting IPv6. Hold on, there’s more. This change covers a whole array of AWS services that can potentially assign a public IPv4 address — think Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS database instances, Amazon EKS nodes, Amazon RedShift nodes, Elastic Beanstalk, DMS, ECS, EMR, MSK, MQ, AppStream 2.0, Workspaces, ELB, NAT Gateway, Global Accelerator, S2S VPN, and Mainframe Modernisation. <a href="https://aws.plainenglish.io/stop-paying-3-75-per-month-for-a-public-ipv4-address-on-aws-starting-feb-1-2024-90f8af5c8424">Visit Now</a>
