How to obtain all available Elastic IP addresses in boto3

Question

What is the boto3 equivalent to:

import boto

conn = boto.connect_ec2()
addresses = conn.get_all_addresses()

(returning all Elastic IP addresses)

import boto3
ec2 = boto3.resource('ec2')
addresses = ec2.????

I am a little bit confused by the generalization that seem to apply to VPC setups as well.

---

What I found so far is following:

import boto3

client = boto3.client('ec2')
print client.describe_addresses()

This response does not seem to contain the association status.

Answer 1

Here's a simple example that prints all Elastic IP public IP addresses in the current account/region:

import boto3
client = boto3.client('ec2')
addresses_dict = client.describe_addresses()
for eip_dict in addresses_dict['Addresses']:
    print(eip_dict['PublicIp'])

For more, see the EC2.Client.describe_addresses reference documentation .

Answer 2

This may help:

import boto3
ec2 = boto3.resource('ec2', region_name="ap-southeast-1")
client = boto3.client('ec2', region_name="ap-southeast-1")
# create 3 x Elastic IP Addresses.  Set to Domain='vpc' to allocate the address for use with instances in a VPC.
eip1 = client.allocate_address(Domain='vpc')
eip2 = client.allocate_address(Domain='vpc')
eip3 = client.allocate_address(Domain='vpc')

# A collection of VpcAddresses resources "vpc_addresses.all()"
print eip = list(ec2.vpc_addresses.all())
[ec2.VpcAddress(allocation_id='eipalloc-3f693f5a'), ec2.VpcAddress(allocation_id='eipalloc-7896c01d'), 
ec2.VpcAddress(allocation_id='eipalloc-9997c1fc')]
