Generally anytime you get a new IP there is a risk that the IP has a bad reputation. A good indication (but not guarantee) is to check the email anti-spam services if the elastic IP is blacklisted somewhere. You can check the health of the IP here: http://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check Keep in mind if you don't find the IP blacklisted it doesn't mean it is clean. It just means that the IP wasn't used for sending email spam. |

Not negatively. If anything, the use of an elastic IP to bypass any failures of any one instance would slightly improve SEO as there would be far fewer outages. |
