Edge Load Balancer (ELB) instances are private network instances. To enable access from the public network, you must associate an Elastic IP Address (EIP) with an ELB instance. After the EIP is associated, the ELB instance can forward requests from the public network.
Prerequisites
An EIP instance is created. For more information, see Create and manage edge EIPs. Data transfer costs are charged for the edge EIP if you associate a public EIP with an ELB instance. For more information, see EIP billing.
Procedure
When you associate an ELB instance with a public IP address, a transient disconnection occurs if the instance is handling private network service traffic. Perform this operation during off-peak hours, or switch the service to another instance before you proceed.
