ty I do need internet access for my ec2 instances in the private subnet outbound I thought that needed nat gateways for instance to upgrade a system package connection is initiated outbound But I don t need any traffic to be initiated inbound and definitely do not need a fixed ip address which I thought was the purpose of elastic ip Is my understanding incorrect How do I accomplish outbound traffic without an elastic ip
