  Good one,

  This behaviour of Amazon EC2 – Windows based hosts – caused us a lot of headache because our software stack was sensitive to host name changes

  Thanks for the tip! Is there a way to permanently associate an Elastic IP address with an instance too so that I don’t have to associate it each time I start the instance?

  Is there a way to make this change programmatically?
