Hi,
Azure Reserved IP is nice feature, where I have a fixed Public IP for my Cloud Service and is useful when configuring the firewalls for filtering and security purpose.
I stuck into one issue one provisioning Azure Virtual Machine with Reserved IP. I'm provisioning Virtual Machine with PowerShell and using certificates instead of Passwords. The following are my concerns(with PowerShell):
1. As of now Azure does not support to assign Reserved IPs for existing Cloud Services and I cannot attach the Reserved Ip at the time of cloud service creation in PowerShell.
2. I can create a Virtual Machine using PowerShell with Reserved IP as
Means at the time of VM creation only I can attach the Reserved IP for a cloud service(new cloud service is created) as well. This works fine.
3. To create a Virtual Machine with certificate, I need to upload the certificate to cloud service first, then create the virtual machine using keys without password( with -NoSSHPassword switch)
This also works fine. Here I need to create Cloud Service first, then add certificate and then create VM using that cert.
4. My problem here is, How can I configure Reserved IP in the above scenario, since Reserved IP does not support existing cloud service. It only works in the first scenario.
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks and Regards
