Table: aws_vpc_eip - Query AWS VPC Elastic IP Addresses using SQL

An AWS VPC Elastic IP Address is a static, public IPv4 address designed for dynamic cloud computing. It allows you to mask the failure of an instance or software by rapidly remapping the address to another instance in your account. With an Elastic IP address, you can manage your own IP addressing, connectivity, security, and delivery control in the AWS Cloud.

Table Usage Guide

The aws_vpc_eip table in Steampipe provides you with information about Elastic IP Addresses (EIP) within AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). This table allows you, as a DevOps engineer, to query EIP-specific details, including allocation IDs, association IDs, domain, public IP, and associated metadata. You can utilize this table to gather insights on Elastic IP Addresses, such as their allocation status, associated instances, network interface details, and more. The schema outlines the various attributes of the Elastic IP Address for you, including the public IPv4 address, allocation ID, association ID, domain, instance ID, network interface ID, private IP address, and associated tags.

Examples

List of unused elastic IPs

Identify instances where Elastic IPs are not currently in use within your AWS VPC environment. This can help in resource management and cost reduction by releasing unnecessary IPs.

select
public_ip,
domain association_id
from
aws_vpc_eip
where
association_id is null;
select
public_ip,
domain association_id
from
aws_vpc_eip
where
association_id is null;

Count of elastic IPs by instance Ids

Discover the segments that have differing numbers of elastic IPs within your AWS VPC environment. This allows for efficient allocation and management of your public IPv4 resources.

select
public_ipv4_pool,
count(public_ip) as elastic_ips
from
aws_vpc_eip
group by
public_ipv4_pool;
select
public_ipv4_pool,
count(public_ip) as elastic_ips
from
aws_vpc_eip
group by
public_ipv4_pool;

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- aws

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_aws --config '<your_config>' aws_vpc_eip
