Use MoveAddressToVpc with a CLI

To move an address to EC2-VPC

This example moves Elastic IP address 54.123.4.56 to the EC2-VPC platform.

Command:

aws ec2 move-address-to-vpc --public-ip 54.123.4.56

Output:

{
  "Status": "MoveInProgress"
}

Example 1: This example moves an EC2 instance with a public IP address of 12.345.67.89 to the EC2-VPC platform in the US East (Northern Virginia) region.

Move-EC2AddressToVpc -PublicIp 12.345.67.89 -Region us-east-1

Example 2: This example pipes the results of a Get-EC2Instance command to the Move-EC2AddressToVpc cmdlet. The Get-EC2Instance command gets an instance that is specified by instance ID, then returns the public IP address property of the instance.

(Get-EC2Instance -Instance i-12345678).Instances.PublicIpAddress | Move-EC2AddressToVpc
