Day 7: Create a Public IP Address for Azure VM
🌐 Day 7: Create a Public IP Address for Azure VM | 100 Days of Cloud (Azure)
Welcome to Day 7 of the 100 Days of Cloud (Azure) series! In this lab, you’ll learn how to create a Public IP Address, which allows your Azure resources (like Virtual Machines) to communicate with the internet.
As part of their incremental cloud migration, the Nautilus DevOps team is setting up networking components step by step. A Public IP is essential for enabling external access to services hosted in Azure.
📌 Lab Objective:
Create a Public IP resource in Azure.
🛠️ Task Requirements:
Public IP Name: datacenter-pip
Platform: Microsoft Azure
🌐 Azure Portal:
https://portal.azure.com
💻 Steps Using Azure Portal:
Log in to the Azure Portal.
Search for Public IP addresses.
Click Create.
Select:
Subscription and Resource Group
Name: datacenter-pip
IP Version: IPv4
SKU: Basic (default)
Assignment: Dynamic (default)
Choose region same as your VM (recommended).
Click Review + Create → Create.
💻 Azure CLI Command:
az network public-ip create \
--name datacenter-pip \
--resource-group RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME \
--allocation-method Dynamic
🔍 Verify Public IP:
az network public-ip show \
--name datacenter-pip \
--resource-group RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME \
--output table
