Virtual Public IP address

Right now, i am working on setting a docker on azure. There i stumbled on Static Virtual Public IP Address. I read about it but i still have some doubts.

  1. How is Static Virtual Public IP Address different from the Static Public IP Address?
  2. If i give port access to that particular Static Virtual Public IP Address, will it work fine as in case of Static Public IP Address?

Context: I have to access the docker using a window client in a company environment where port access can be provided to a particular IP address.

Solution

  • MSN Tutorial says:

    Use of reserved IP

    You want to ensure that outbound traffic from Azure uses a predictable IP address. You may have your on-premises firewall configured to allow only traffic from specific IP addresses. By reserving an IP, you will know the source IP address and won’t have to update your firewall rules due to an IP change.

    Conclusion: It will work.
