Public Static IP for Azure VM

Question

Is there any ways to assign public static IP for Azure VM? Do I have to do through the Azure Virtual Network or I need to do it when setting up the VM?

Would appreciate that if somebody could provide me some tutorial and steps to achieve it.

Thank you.

Solution 1

Yes - but only recently. Run get-help *-AzureReservedIP* to get all the cmdlets you need.

Solution 2

EDIT: use the "New-AzureReservedIP" powershell cmdlet in the VM

the verbose syntax looks like this:

New-AzureReservedIP – ReservedIPName “MyWebsiteIP” –Label “WebsiteIP” –Location “Japan West”

for more information, here's a relevant blog post about it:

here's an msdn spec on it:
