🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE for AWS Users! 🚨 Starting February 1, 2024, AWS will implement a new charge of $0.005 per hour for all public IPv4 addresses. This affects services like Amazon EC2, RDS, EKS, and more.

In-use Public IPv4 address: No charge to $0.005/hour
Additional Elastic IP Address: $0.005/hour (no change)
Idle Elastic IP Address: $0.005/hour (no change)
💡 Free Tier Update: The AWS Free Tier for EC2 will now include 750 hours of public IPv4 address usage per month for the first 12 months, starting February 1, 2024.

📊 Public IP Insights: AWS introduces a new feature, Public IP Insights, a part of Amazon VPC IP Address Manager, allowing users to monitor, analyze, and audit their use of public IPv4 addresses for free.
🔧 Efficient IPv4 Usage: Learn how to use the new IP Insights tool to efficiently manage your IPv4 addresses and minimize the impact of the new charges. Consider using AWS Direct Connect for a dedicated network connection to AWS.
