Public IPs vs Elastic IPs

When deploying an AWS instance, by default you will be provided a public IP address from a pool of available IPs.
If you stop your instance, this public IP address will be released and a new IP will be provided the next time you'll start it.
This will affect access to CRCON.

To stop this from happening :
You need to allocate an elastic IP, which will be kept until you release it from your account.
The IP will stay on your account even if you stop or destroy your instance.

Ensure that you set the RCONWEB_EXTERNAL_ADDRESS parameter value (in CRCON's root .env file) to your public or elastic IP.
