Ec2 instance creation using terraform assigns public IP

I am super new to terraform, I tried creating a ec2 instance, a elb and cname record using terraform. There is main.tf file with config supporting this and a separate variable file.

I haven't defined to create a public ip for ec2 instance anywhere in the config but it still creates one. Kindly advice how to prevent this.

There is an Boolean option to disable to assign public ip address with an instance.

https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/instance.html#associate_public_ip_address

associate_public_ip_address - (Optional) Associate a public ip address with an instance in a VPC. Boolean value.

So your code can be updated to

resource "aws_instance" "foo" {
  ...
  ecs_associate_public_ip_address = "false"
}
