By default AWS machines use NAT, they provide a temporary external IP that is NATed through to the internal IP applied to the AWS instance. You can also permanantly assign an 'elastic IP address' if you want a particular instance to always be reachable on a specific IP.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-instance-addressing.html When you put that public IP in the riak config file, it makes no sense to Riak because that IP isn't applied to any interface it knows about. When you put the private IP in, it works, but you can't access it. This is probably because AWS is dropping inbound traffic by default: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-network-security.html#default-security-group This is not a Riak problem, it is an issue with configuring AWS.
