NAME

       VM::EC2::ElasticAddress - Object describing an Amazon EC2 Elastic Address

SYNOPSIS

         use VM::EC2;

         $ec2     = VM::EC2->new(...);
         $addr    = $ec2->allocate_address;

         $ip      = $addr->publicIp;
         $domain  = $addr->domain;
         $allId   = $addr->allocationId;

DESCRIPTION

       This object represents an Amazon EC2 elastic address and is returned by by
       VM::EC2->allocate_address().

METHODS

       These object methods are supported:

        publicIp      -- Public IP of the address
        domain        -- Type of address, either "standard" or "vpc"
        allocationId  -- For VPC addresses only, an allocation ID
        instanceId    -- If the address is associated with an instance, the
                         ID of that instance.
        associationId -- If the address is a VPC elastic IP, and associated
                         with an instance, then the ID of the association.

       In addition, the following convenience methods are provided:

   $result = $addr->associate($instance_id)
       Associate this address with the given instance ID or VM::EC2::Instance object. If
       successful, the result code will be true for an ordinary EC2 Elastic IP,or equal to the
       associationId for a VPC Elastic IP address.

   $result = $addr->disassociate()
       Disassociate this address with any instance it is already associated with. If successful,
       this method will return true.

   $addr->refresh()
       This is an internal function called after associate() and disassociate(), and is used to
       refresh the address object's contents.

STRING OVERLOADING

       When used in a string context, this object will interpolate the publicIp.
