Amazon VPC IP Address Manager offers IP address usage tracking features that can benefit anyone who manages complex network environments. IPAM provides visibility into IP address allocation, utilization, and consumption trends across AWS. This helps you identify unused or inefficiently used IP addresses, optimization of the address space and preventing potential IP address exhaustion.

IPAM tracks IP address usage at the CIDR, scope, and IPAM levels, providing detailed reporting and analytics. This is valuable for large-scale deployments, multi-account setups, and evolving network requirements.
