How to publish the private IP addresses of vms to the students instead/with the ssh commnand in Azure Labs

גלעד דואני 10

Hello
We want to give the students that are using the azure labs the private ip of the machine they are using instead of just giving them the ssh commnad (which doesnt even has the ip address).

we want the students to use putty/mobafire instead of just the cmd and it requires them to get the ip directly.
we do have the ip's on the teachers side but we want the studnts to get it to instead of us just posting the picture of all the ip addresses.
Thanks for every response!

Hi @גלעד דואני
It isn't possible for the users themselves to fetch an IP address of virtual machine. In Azure there are multiple ways to connect to a Linux virtual machine.

The most widespread practice for connecting to a Linux VM is using the Secure Shell Protocol (SSH). This is done via any standard SSH client commonly found in Linux and Windows. You can also use Azure Cloud Shell from any browser.

This document describes how to connect, via SSH using the FQDN with the username of vmuser and port 51637.
If the students got access to the portal, then they can connect to a VM through browser using the Azure Bastion service, you can refer to the below link

Hope this helps.
