A basic network interface functionality provided by AWS to be attached to EC2.
- Additional ENIs can be attached from subnets within the same AZ
 - The primary network interface has a private IP and optionally a public IP
 - You cannot attach ENIs from subnets in different AZs
 - We can attach many ENIs to a singe instances.
 - We can transferr the ENI from one instance to another in the same availability zone.
