如何使用Boto库更改Amazon EC2实例的IP地址

Question

如何使用boto库为现有的AWS EC2实例分配新的IP地址（或弹性IP）。

Answer 1

Make sure you have set properly with ~/.boto and connect to aws, have the boto module ready in python. If not, go through this first: Getting Started with Boto

For example, you need assign a new EIP 54.12.23.34 to the instance i-12345678

Make sure, EIP has been allocated(existed) and you can get its allocation_id .

$ python
>>> import boto.ec2
>>> conn = boto.ec2.connect_to_region("us-west-2")
>>> conn.get_all_addresses()
>>> allocation=conn.get_all_addresses(filters={'public_ip': '54.12.23.34'})[0].allocation_id
u'eipalloc-b43b3qds'

then call associate_address and give instance_id or private_ip_address , then you should be fine to assign the EIP to Amazon EC2 instance using boto library

associate_address usage:

associate_address(instance_id=None, public_ip=None, allocation_id=None, network_interface_id=None, private_ip_address=None, allow_reassociation=False, dry_run=False)

So you will have the command as:

>>> conn.associate_address(instance_id='i-12345678', allocation_id=allocation)
