I'm planning to migrate my Basic SKU public IP for our VPN gateway (currently using VpnGw2). The IP address is dynamic at the moment. I've gone through the validation steps in the Azure portal and everything looks good with four green checkboxes. My main questions are: when we perform the migration, will our IP address change from dynamic to static? And will it remain the same IP address after the migration? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve read that the documentation doesn’t clearly state the IP won't change, which can be frustrating. It sounds like you have to be careful since if the IP does change, you’ll need to reconfigure your peers, which is a hassle. As for why it took an hour, I’ve seen estimates that say it should only take about five minutes of downtime, but it seems to vary depending on the circumstances. Better safe than sorry!
Using the migration wizard should keep your IP as a Standard SKU Static, and it won't change during the process. I did this recently, and it took about an hour in total—so just make sure you have enough time set aside for it.
