Assign Azure VM Static IP address

Reading Time: 2 minutes

In this blog post I will assign a server within Azure a static IP address. By default all servers obtain an IP automatically.

Please note: You can not assign a server in Azure a static IP from within the OS. This will cause communication issues between the Azure agent on the server and Azure.
