Elastic IP address A fixed (static) IP address that you have allocated in Amazon EC2 (p. 111) or
Amazon VPC (p. 114) and then attached to an instance (p. 136). Elastic IP
addresses are associated with your account, not a specific instance. They are
elastic because you can easily allocate, attach, detach, and free them as your
needs change. Unlike traditional static IP addresses, Elastic IP addresses allow you
to mask instance or Availability Zone (p. 116) failures by rapidly remapping your
public IP addresses to another instance.
Elastic Load Balancing A web service that improves an application's availability by distributing incoming
traffic between two or more EC2 instance (p. 129)s.
See Also https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing.
elastic network interface An additional network interface that can be attached to an instance (p. 136).
Elastic network interfaces include a primary private IP address, one or more
secondary private IP addresses, an elastic IP address (optional), a MAC address,
membership in specified security group (p. 151)s, a description, and a source/
destination check flag. You can create an elastic network interface, attach it to an
instance, detach it from an instance, and attach it to another instance.
Elasticsearch An open source, real-time distributed search and analytics engine used for full-
text search, structured search, and analytics. Elasticsearch was developed by the
Elastic company.
Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES) is an AWS managed service for
deploying, operating, and scaling Elasticsearch in the AWS Cloud.
See Also Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES), Elastic.

Key Management Service (AWS KMS) (p. 118)–encrypted information.
