Static IP addresses in Lightsail

Focus mode
Static IP addresses in Lightsail - Amazon Lightsail

A static IP is a fixed, public IP address that you can assign and reassign to an instance or other resource. If you haven't set up a static IP address, each time you stop or restart your instance, Lightsail assigns a new public IP address.

Important

If you stop or restart your instance without first creating a static IP address and attaching it to your instance, you lose your IP address when your instance restarts. You should create a static IP address and attach it to your instance to ensure that your instance always has the same public IP address. For more information, see Create a static IP address.
