What is elastic IP in AWS?

How do I assign Elastic IP to EC2 instance?
Click the Elastic IPs link in the EC2 Dashboard. Click Allocate New Address and choose VPC or EC2 from the drop-down list, depending whether you're going to associate this IP with an instance in Amazon EC2-Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) or Amazon EC2-Classic, respectively. Click Yes, Allocate to confirm your choice.
Can we use Elastic IP in private subnet?
If you bind an elastic IP to a machine in the private subnet, the inbound traffic would arrive at the instance, but the outbound reply traffic would be routed back through the NAT instance, which would either discard or mangle it, since you can't route asymmetrically through NAT, and that's what would happen here.
What happens to elastic IP when instance is stopped?
When you stop an instance, we shut it down. We don't charge usage for a stopped instance, or data transfer fees, but we do charge for the storage for any Amazon EBS volumes.

How to keep track of updates on dynamically released IP?
If the only choice is a dynamically released IP, the only way you have to keep track of the updates is to setup a DDNS (dynamic domain name).
What happens when EC2 instances are stopped?
When these EC2 instances are stopped, the Elastic IP address is disassociated from the EC2 instance . Since the Elastic IP address is disassociated from the instance, you’ll start paying for the “unused” Elastic IP address.
What happens if you stop EC2?
But if you stop and leave your EC2 instance stopped for any amount of time, then you’ll start paying for the Elastic IP address.
How to get dynamic IP address?
Dynamic IP addresses are most often served via a process called DHCP. A DHCP server will provide an IP address via a lease, which can vary in length. A lease for a desktop might be a day or a week, and a lease for a wireless device might be 4 hours. You typically get an initial address, and then periodically you renew the lease and get the same address over and over. A client has the right to request a specific address, and if it is available, the server has the right to deny that request and offer another IP. Additionally, a DHCP server could elect to shuffle IP addresses every time you requested an address, but most US ISPs do not shuffle IPs. If you are running a Microsoft OS, the ipconfig/all command will show you the IP address of your DHCP server.
Do you pay for elastic IP address when EC2 is stopped?
However, during the time that the EC2 instance is “stopped”, you will pay for the Elastic IP address on a “pro-rata basis”.
Is a domain name static IP?

Release an Elastic IP address
If you no longer need an Elastic IP address, we recommend that you release it. You incur charges for any Elastic IP address that's allocated for use with a VPC but not associated with an instance. The Elastic IP address must not be associated with an instance or network interface.
Recover an Elastic IP address
If you release your Elastic IP address, you might be able to recover it. You cannot recover the Elastic IP address if it has been allocated to another AWS account, or if it results in you exceeding your Elastic IP address quota.
