Thanks for this. I'd like to note that there is no evidence that AWS maintains a separate pool of "Elastic Public IP" and "Ephemeral Public IP". If we drop this phantom construct, then the feature is greatly simplified - there are not 2 workflows to acquire a persistent public ip - there are no additional APIs - the only thing that needs to be done is to move the public ip resource to the region level from the zone level
