Hey everyone! I have a couple of questions regarding virtual machines on Azure. First off, is there a way to create a VM without assigning a public IP? I'm currently working on a test VM, and I see that it automatically got a public IP. Secondly, if I create a new VM in a different resource group under the same subscription, I've noticed it's not picking up IPs from the virtual network's address space. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks for your help!

Good to know you can go without a public IP! For accessing that VM, using a load balancer or something similar is key. And for your VM not getting an IP from the vNet—just double-check the networking setup. It's usually automatic if all's configured properly.
Absolutely! You can definitely create a VM without a public IP. Just detach the public IP from the VM's network interface, or if you're making a new VM, make sure to uncheck the option that says 'Create Public IP'. For your second question, as long as the VM is placed in the intended virtual network, it should automatically get an IP from the vNet's address space, no matter which resource group it’s in. I'd recommend checking your vNet settings just to be sure everything's set up correctly!
Yes, creating a VM without a public IP is totally doable! You can access it through other services in your virtual network, like a load balancer or a bastion host. Regarding your second question, just make sure that the VM has a network interface card attached. It really needs one to get an IP from the vNet.
