After instantiating a micro server I created an elastic IP and associated my micro instance with it. In my micro instance settings panel in AWS, I see "Public IP" address and an "Elastic IP" address, which as far as I can understand, means the association was successful. However, I am able to ping the Public IP but not the Elastic IP. Am I missing a step here

Check the Security Profile for your instance and to make sure you've allowed echo requests (AKA ping) to come thru. Basic settings for such a rule would be:

Type: Custom ICMP Rule
Protocol: ICMP Request
Port Range: N/A
Source: (whatever IPs you want to allow pings from)
