How do I build an Azure network publicip?

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of creating an Azure Network Public IP address using infrastructure as code. We will define the necessary resources and their configurations in a single script. The code block below is in HCL and shows how to achieve this.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Define the provider: Specify the Azure provider to use.
2. Create the resource group: Resource groups in Azure provide a way to manage and organize related resources.
3. Create a public IP address: This resource represents a publicly accessible IP address.

Below is the complete code to create these resources.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure";

const exampleRg = new azure.core.ResourceGroup("example_rg", {
    name: "example-resource-group",
    location: "West Europe",
});
const examplePublicIp = new azure.network.PublicIp("example_public_ip", {
    name: "example-public-ip",
    location: exampleRg.location,
    resourceGroupName: exampleRg.name,
    allocationMethod: "Dynamic",
    tags: {
        environment: "staging",
    },
});
export const publicIp = examplePublicIp.ipAddress;

Key Points:

• Provider Configuration: Specifies the Azure provider as the resource manager.
• Resource Group: A logical container that holds related resources.
• Public IP Resource: This resource defines a dynamic public IP address that can be assigned to other network resources.

Summary

In this walkthrough, we created an Azure Public IP Address by defining our provider, setting up a resource group for organization, and specifying the public IP with required attributes. This configuration helps in managing and automating your cloud infrastructure efficiently.
