static external IP for azure hosts

  • 772

I am creating an Azure Virtual Desktop implementation. What is the correct way to make sure that the AVD's use a static IP address for outgoing connections?

Is it by creating a NAT Gateway?

    If you are talking about the outbound IP then there are several different methods to ensure traffic from an Azure vNet uses a consitent IP, pick the one that works best for you:

    • Assigning a Public IP to the VM, which will be used for outbound traffic. Probably not workable for AVD
    • Put VMs behind an Azure load balancer and use the outbound rules to define outbound IP
    • Azure vNet NAT Gateway - defines a static outbound IP for all traffic on a vnet, probably the simplest option for your scenario
    • Azure Firewall (or other FW device) - all traffic is routed out the firewall, and will use this as the outbound IP.
