VIP Virtual IP address. Assigned to a virtual machine, Always assigned cloud service load balancer, or an internal load balancer. Address is private for an internal load balancer and is public for a cloud service load balancer or a virtual machine. Address is shared across all virtual machines within the same cloud service. PIP Public IP address. Public instance-level IP address Use only when you need that can be assigned to a virtual machine. A PIP to directly communicate allows direct communication to a virtual machine with an instance in cloud without going through the cloud service load service balancer. Reserved This is a static public-facing VIP address for a cloud Use only when you need service that must be specially requested. There are a a public facing static IP limited number of these addresses per subscription. address This is an ASM construct. Public This is a static public-facing VIP address for a load Use only when you need Static balancer. This is the equivalent of a ASM Reserved IP a public facing static IP Address. This is an ARM construct. address Internal A static address allocated from the subnet address Use only when you need static pool. Internal facing only. The number is only limited an internal facing static by the number of addresses assigned to the subnet IP address address pool. This is implemented as a DHCP reservation. For more information, see . The relationship is illustrated in the following diagram for ARM environments:
