I’m pretty sure you only incur costs when it’s allocated and associated with a running instance, but I might be mixing it up with another topic.

I feel like costs apply even if the EIP is associated with a stopped instance, but that seems a bit counterintuitive.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think it was about costs when the EIP is allocated, but I can't recall the specifics.

I think costs are incurred when the EIP is allocated and associated with a running instance, but I'm not entirely sure.

I feel pretty confident that the correct answer is B. Allocating an EIP and associating it with a running instance is when the charges start.

I'm leaning towards B, but I want to double-check the AWS documentation to make sure I'm not missing anything.

I think the answer is B - when the EIP is allocated and associated with a running instance. That's when AWS starts charging for it.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't we incur costs even when the instance is stopped? I'll go with C just to be safe.
