In most (all?) public cloud you don't have real layer2, having the MAC computed from the IP allow to make a stateless ARP responder I guess


Thanks! I don't understand the technical details but (combining multiple responds) I think I understand a bit now. I also remember that back when I was in the university we used sort of university intranet (every personal computer connected has to go through it to the Internet, but it's free anyway) and there was a lot of ARP attack then, and I learned to use arp -a and arp -v (maybe wrong).
