Hi Developer Atigro

If your newly cloned VM doesn't have a public IP address, This may happen because Azure does not automatically assign a public IP to a cloned VM.

You need to manually associate a public IP.Please follow below steps to associate the IP.

Verify the IP Address Assignment in the cloned VM

Navigate to the "Virtual Machines" in azure portal and select your cloned VM.

Under the "Networking" section, verify the network interface is present and check for any assigned public IP.

Add Public IP: If there isn't a public IP associated, you can add one by following these steps:

In the Azure portal, go to "Network Interfaces."

Click on the NIC of your cloned VM.

Under the "Settings" section, click on "IP configurations."

Click on your IP configuration (usually called "ipconfig1").

Under "Public IP address," select "Create new," or choose an existing public IP address if available.

Save your changes.

If you encounter errors while assigning a public IP, make sure you’re not exceeding your subscription’s public IP quota. You can check your quota in the Azure portal under "Subscriptions" and then "Usage + quotas."

Hi,

If you clone an existing Azure VM you need to associate its Network Interface IP configuration with a Public IP address resource.

To do this in Azure portal navigate to the VM -- Networking -- Network settings blade. Next on right side near top click on the Network interface/ ipconfig at top.

Once on IP configurations screen, click on the IP configuration (often it is named ipconfig1).

Check Associate public IP address, select existing public IP from dropdown or create new one, then click Save.

The above assumes you are referring to VM with its own dedicated Public IP address. If this assumption is incorrect, please let me know.
