A user has launched an EBS backed instance with EC2-Classic. The user stops and starts the instance. Which of
the below mentioned statements is not true with respect to the stop/start action?
A.
The instance gets new private and public IP addresses
B.
The volume is preserved
C.
The Elastic IP remains associated with the instance
D.
The instance may run on a anew host computer
Explanation:
A user can always stop/start an EBS backed EC2 instance. When the user stops the instance, it first enters the
stopping state, and then the stopped state. AWS does not charge the running cost but charges only for the EBS
storage cost. If the instance is running in EC2-Classic, it receives a new private IP address; as the Elastic IP
address (EIP. associated with the instance is no longer associated with that instance.
Answer should be A.
EC2-Classic: We release the public and private IP addresses for the instance when you stop the instance, and assign new ones when you restart it.

@Vamsi: Which of the below mentioned statements is “not” true with respect to the stop/start action?
EC2-Classic: We release the public and private IP addresses for the instance when you stop the instance, and assign new ones when you restart it.
EC2-Classic: We disassociate any Elastic IP address that’s associated with the instance. You’re charged for Elastic IP addresses that aren’t associated with an instance. When you restart the instance, you must associate the Elastic IP address with the instance; we don’t do this automatically.
