I want to know the elastic ip associatied with my ec2-instance. When i remote via putty and type ifconfig it's doesn't display elastic ip and providing the internal ip. Is there a unix command to get the elastic ip?

If you prefer http requests then regardless of OS:

http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-ipv4

Feel free to explore http://169.254.169.254/ tree. Please note slash is required after some nodes in the tree despite it isn't visible in the answer from the upper level.

For example:

root@aw [~]# curl -w "\n" http://169.254.169.254/latest/
dynamic
meta-data
user-data

Row dynamic does not have slash at the end, but if you try as is you'll see nothing:

root@aw [~]# curl -w "\n" http://169.254.169.254/latest/dynamic
(empty line)

Then try with slash:

root@aw [~]# curl -w "\n" http://169.254.169.254/latest/dynamic/
instance-identity/

Of course this 'website' works inside AWS only.

At the command line, type ec2metadata for ubuntu-based images. On the amazon-based images, I use ec2-metadata Your public ip will be among the other data displayed.
