Using the same AMI as you, as well as the latest build (ami-0cb7a724e5bafff67 in us-west-2), the instance was assigned a public IP. The initial response to run-instances does not include a PublicIpAddress, but it is there a describe-instances response within a few seconds. I observed the same behavior when I laucnhed Ubuntu 22.04 from i-0f0d0cdaa7102be65 in us-west-2. Do you see a public ip if you describe the new instance after creation? Thanks, Ross
