If you want to launch Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Instances and assign each Instance a predetermined private IP address you should:?

Explanations:

Elastic IP addresses are public IP addresses that can be assigned to EC2 instances. They are not used for assigning private IP addresses. Private IP addresses are assigned automatically by AWS when launching instances in a VPC.

Placement Groups are used to influence the placement of instances for performance purposes, such as low-latency networking. They do not affect the assignment of private IP addresses.

Launching instances in an Amazon VPC allows you to assign specific private IP addresses within the subnet. This is the only option that directly supports assigning predetermined private IP addresses.

Standard EC2 instances automatically receive private DNS names, but this does not allow for predetermined private IP address assignments. They still get dynamically assigned private IPs unless specified otherwise in a VPC.

A private Amazon Machine Image (AMI) does not relate to the assignment of private IP addresses. The private IP address assignment is based on the VPC subnet configuration rather than the type of AMI used.
