💖 VM::EC2::NetworkInterface::Association(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, listen up — this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's about VM::EC2::NetworkInterface::Association. That's a whole mouthful, i know, but it's literally just an object that represents an association of a network interface with an elastic public IP address. slay.

✨ NAME ✨

VM::EC2::NetworkInterface::Association — Object representing an association of a network interface with an elastic public IP address 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe, copy-paste ready, no cap:

use VM::EC2;
my $ec2 = VM::EC2->new(...);
my $interface   = $ec2->describe_network_interfaces('eni-12345');
my $association = $interface->association;
my $id          = $association->associationId;
my $public_ip   = $association->ipOwnerId;
my $address     = $association->address;

look at her go 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this object gives you access to an elastic address association object, which reversibly associates an elastic public IP address with an elastic network interface (an ENI). the way it just... attaches and detaches. iconic behavior fr fr.

also pls go read VM::EC2::Generic for the methods that every single VM::EC2 object shares. they're not repeated here, bestie, they live over there. 🫶

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

these object methods are supported, and yes, they're all here, i'm not skipping a single one:

• associationId
• publicIp
• publicDnsName
• ipOwnerId
• allocationId

and in addition, this object supports the following convenience method:

• address() — Returns the VM::EC2::Address object involved in the association. it's giving "here's the whole address object, you're welcome" 😌

---

⭐ STRING OVERLOADING ⭐

when you use this object in a string context, it gets interpolated as the public IP address. so you can just drop it in a string and it'll show up as the IP. main character energy tbh. 💖

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• VM::EC2
• VM::EC2::Generic

go read those too, they're the supporting cast and they ate. 👑
