Best practices Blueprint for Azure Public IP

Customizable templates for deploying cloud infrastructure

Azure Public IP

This blueprint creates an Azure Public IP with best practices in mind, such as defaulting to a 'Static' allocation method and using the 'Standard' SKU for enhanced security and features. It encourages the use of tags for better resource management and identification. Advanced settings like idle timeout can be customized if needed. The blueprint organizes variables into intuitive groups to assist users—including those who may not be cloud infrastructure experts—in configuring essential and advanced settings easily.
