How to assign public ip to Virtual machine scale set instance

Question

Hi

I created a VSS and under this there are 2 instances.

I want to assign public ip to these instances - https://prnt.sc/qhVd9zChzQiN

I even checked the NIC, but it showing me this - https://prnt.sc/Siv_jMI3siOT

Even I created a public IP, but when i try to associate then it doesn't show the VSS virtual network!!

Can you please guide me how can I assign public IP to VM under VSS?

Thanks

Hi @Deepak sharma
If you just want to connect via rdp, you can use inbound nat rules, and define a port for each vm from load balance

reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/load-balancer/load-balancer-standard-virtual-machine-scale-sets

To create a scale set that assigns a public IP address to each virtual machine with the CLI, add the --public-ip-per-vm parameter to the vmss create command.

reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/virtual-machine-scale-sets-networking#creating-a-scale-set-with-public-ip-per-virtual-machine

Or you can use public ip prefix to generate ips in a virtual machine scale set

Hi,

To have Internet access for VSS you can configure a load balancer:

Hope thus helps!
