Configuring private and public IP addresses

In this section, we are going to configure both a private and a public IP address. When we created the VNet, a private IP address was created for us automatically by Azure. However, we are going to create another in this demonstration and associate it, along with the public IP address, to a network interface card (NIC). To configure a private and public IP address from PowerShell, you have to perform the following steps:

1. In the same PowerShell window, add the following code to retrieve the VNet and subnet configuration:

$vnet = Get-AzVirtualNetwork -Name PacktVirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName PacktVNetResourceGroup
$subnet = Get-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name default -VirtualNetwork $vnet

2. Next, create a private and a public IP address and assign them to the configuration, as follows:

$publicIP = New-AzPublicIpAddress `
    -Name PacktPublicIP `
    -ResourceGroupName PacktVNetResourceGroup `
    -AllocationMethod Dynamic `
    -Location EastUS...
