Elastic Public IP
Overview
An Elastic Public IP (EIP) is a static, publicly routable IPv4 address that you can allocate to your Bitdeer AI Cloud account and associate with your cloud resources. Unlike the default public IP addresses assigned to compute instances, an EIP exists independently of any single resource — it can be bound, unbound, and rebound across instances at any time without requiring reconfiguration of your workloads.
EIPs are ideal for scenarios where a persistent, predictable public IP address is required, such as running public-facing services, maintaining DNS records, or enabling secure remote access to cloud resources.
Key Concepts
Normal EIP — The standard EIP type, providing a dedicated public IPv4 address that can be attached to a single compute instance or other compatible cloud resource at a time.
Binding — The process of associating an EIP with a cloud resource (e.g., a compute instance). Once bound, the resource uses the EIP as its public IP address.
Unbinding — Detaching an EIP from its associated resource. The EIP is retained in your account and can be re-used, but an idle EIP Reserved Fee applies while it remains unbound.
EIP Reserved Fee — A holding charge of $0.042/Hour applied when an EIP is allocated but not bound to any resource. This fee stops as soon as the EIP is bound to a cloud resource.
Supported Regions
EIPs are region-specific. Once created, the region of an EIP cannot be changed. Resources in different regions cannot communicate with each other through the intranet. Available regions include:
- Asia-Pacific | Singapore (Zone A, Zone B)
- Malaysia
- Tokyo
- United States
- Canada
- Iceland
