Vapor single outbound IP address?

For anyone else looking to implement this, have a look at...

After looking into this more it appears Vapor created a NAT Gateway with a static elastic IP assigned to it during deployment.

So at the moment it appears that it consolidates outbound traffic to a single IP address right out of the box. I have reached out to support to confirm this and will update this post for anyone else interested when I hear back.

did you hear more about this from support

@joerucci what did support say about the static IP?

Basically they said that it was possible but you would need to configure separately in AWS. I didn’t get much direction beyond that.

I ultimately decided to move the process to an external service (Forge server) that Vapor connects to through Passport and uses for this single IP purpose.

It’s actually become more common for me to move many of these odd ball use cases to other servers.
