Lightsail static IP issues.

Amazon Lightsail is a simple and cost-effective way to host applications, websites, or development environments. While Lightsail makes infrastructure management easy, users often encounter issues when assigning or using static IP addresses

This article covers the most common Lightsail static IP issues and explains how Informatix Systems helps you resolve them quickly and efficiently

Common Amazon Lightsail Static IP Issues

Static IP Not Associating with Instance
Users sometimes fail to properly attach a static IP to their instance. This prevents external traffic from reaching the application hosted on Lightsail

Loss of Connectivity After Reboot
If a static IP is not correctly attached, the instance may lose connectivity or receive a different public IP after rebooting

DNS Configuration Issues
Static IPs need to be mapped correctly to domain names using DNS settings. If DNS is not configured properly, users may face downtime or inaccessibility

Firewall or Port Blocking
Even with a static IP, firewall rules or Lightsail networking restrictions can block incoming traffic, causing the instance to appear unreachable

Delayed IP Propagation
When switching or reassigning static IPs, DNS propagation may delay accessibility, leading to temporary downtime or failure to resolve the domain

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a static IP in Amazon Lightsail
A static IP is a fixed public IP address that you can attach to your Lightsail instance, so the address does not change after reboots or restarts

Why is my static IP not working after attaching it
Make sure it is correctly attached in the Lightsail console and that the instance's networking and firewall rules allow incoming connections

How do I point my domain to a Lightsail static IP
Update the A record in your DNS provider’s settings to point your domain to the assigned Lightsail static IP address

Can I reassign a static IP to a different instance
Yes, you can detach a static IP from one instance and attach it to another using the Lightsail console without changing the IP address

Does the static IP come with extra cost
No Static IPs in Lightsail are free as long as they are attached to a running instance. If left unattached, a small charge may apply
