Moving an Elastic IP Address
Currently, you can migrate an Elastic IP address to EC2-VPC or restore it to EC2-Classic using the
Amazon EC2 Query API, an AWS SDK, or the AWS CLI only.
After you've performed the command to move or restore your Elastic IP address, the process of migrating
the Elastic IP address can take a few minutes. Use the describe-moving-addresses command to check
whether your Elastic IP address is still moving, or has completed moving.
If the Elastic IP address is in a moving state for longer than 5 minutes, contact
http://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/.
