Option to Request Geographically Correct Elastic IPs

This idea was imported from Canny. Originally created by: Damian Sieczkowski. The current owner is: Unassigned.

Allow users to request IP space that is mapped to a particular location in popular IP geolocation DBs and feeds.

    Closing this item as an internal workstream to improve existing GeoIP automation.

    I agree - we already automatically submit our IP space to Google, but some GeoIP databases don't support automatic feeds. We will work to automate this further. Closing this one out!

    This feature would make deployments for services with critical geoip requirements a lot easier. This could entirely be prevented with the geoip mapping always being correct for all IP blocks, but third party services maintaining various geoip databases apparently can't be asked to provide a reliable service
