Those who are in the process of migrating their workloads from the classic Azure ASM portal to the new Resource Manager (ARM) portal will probably find themselves wanting to migrate their public facing IP address’ so you don’t have to worry about DNS replication during the cutover. Below is a quick guide which walks you through the process.
Azure Environment
Cloud Service – CeledonCloudService
Region – West US 2
Public IP Address – 52.183.26.6
Reserved IP Address Name: CeledonWebsitePublicIP

Step 4 – Migrate the Reserved IP address
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
#Check for issues during migration Move–AzureReservedIP –ReservedIPName CeledonWebSitePublicIP –Validate #Prepare the ReservedIP for migration Move–AzureReservedIP –ReservedIPName CeledonWebSitePublicIP –Prepare #Commit to migrating the ReservedIP Move–AzureReservedIP –ReservedIPName CeledonWebSitePublicIP –Commit |
Step 5 – Verify & Cleanup
At this point if you login to portal.azure.com, you should see the resource under Public IP Address with the correct IP address. You can go ahead and move it to the correct resource group and assign the public IP address to whichever resource you would like.
