Elastic addresses (also known as failover groups) provide high availability by allowing IP addresses to be moved between primary and secondary stacks during failover operations. They enable zero-downtime maintenance and automatic disaster recovery.
uidstringThe unique identifier of the elastic address.
addressstringThe elastic IP address that can be switched between stacks.
current_stackstringWhich stack currently owns the IP address ("primary" or "secondary").
primary_stack_uidstring|nullThe unique identifier of the primary stack (null if not configured).
primary_stack_namestring|nullThe display name of the primary stack (null if not configured).
secondary_stack_uidstring|nullThe unique identifier of the secondary/backup stack (null if not configured).
secondary_stack_namestring|nullThe display name of the secondary/backup stack (null if not configured).
busy_togglingbooleanWhether a failover operation is currently in progress.
readonlybooleanWhether the current user can edit this elastic address.
created_atstringThe ISO 8601 timestamp when the elastic address was created.
updated_atstringThe ISO 8601 timestamp when the elastic address was last updated.
Key Features:
- High Availability: Automatic IP switching during stack failures
- Zero-Downtime Maintenance: Manual failover for maintenance windows
- Multi-Stack Support: Primary and secondary stack configuration
- Real-time Status: Live monitoring of failover operations
