How do I get an IPv6 address in Azure?

Question

If I just wanted a VM with a publicly routable IPv6 address, how do I do that? I feel like Microsoft needs to issue me a IPv6 (or /64 block)

Answer 1

1. Enable IPv6 on the Virtual Network (VNet) by adding a /64 IPv6 address space.
2. Configure an IPv6-enabled subnet within the VNet.
3. Add a public IPv6 address to the network interface (NIC) of your VM.
4. Update the Network Security Group (NSG) to allow IPv6 traffic.
5. Verify the IPv6 connectivity of the VM.

Once configured, your VM should have a publicly routable IPv6 address, and you can connect to it over IPv6.

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I understand that you would like to deploy a IPV6 VM with Public Access.

You can follow the below docs :
