Every time I exit my windows sever it changes the IP Address and doesn't keep my software running in the background of the server. Any idea why? It's not like I'm terminating the Instance or shutting it down

So, I am trying to setup a Windows Cloud Storage server to use Perforce to storage and manage my Unreal Engine project. I have a team of 3 and I want them to be able to work on the project. Is this possible and what would that cost? Do you have any links or documentation?

I have followed the same steps, but while adding inbound rules made 80 port open to Source "Anywhere". Still cannot access the web application deployed on the AWS instance and even ping command gives request timed out .
However status checks are passed and I can do RDP, Only web server is not working .Any insights on this?

Is there any reason to choose a Linux server over a Microsoft server (or vice versa) in terms of pricing, functionality and speed?

Great tutorial up to a point where I cannot connect to the public ip from "My IP". My browser suggests that "This site cannot be reached" and also that he site is not secure. I have tried to access it via Chrome and MS Edge. I am able to RDP to the site just fine.

Hello, This user data is not working for windows 2019 instances. The variables ($localipv4, $publicipv4 etc) is null when we go to IP address from web. Only a static page is shown with texts ('IP Adress is'). But the IP address is not printed. Can you please correct the data for windows 2019 (free tier) instance and upload in GitHub
