“ Similar to an EBS volume, ENIs have a lifetime that is independent of any particular EC2 instance. They are also truly elastic. You can create them ahead of time, and then associate one or two of them with an instance at launch time. You can also attach an ENI to an instance while it is running (we sometimes call this a “hot attach”). Unless the Delete on Termination flag is set, the ENI will remain alive and well after the instance is terminated. We’ll create a ENI for you at launch time if you don’t specify one, and we’ll set the Delete on Terminate flag so you won’t have to manage it. Net-net: You don’t have to worry about this new level of flexibility until you actually need it. „
