Public IP address in Azure have 2 SKUs:

1. Standard
2. Basic (will be retired in 2025)

Standard SKU is secure by default, does not allow any inbound traffic. Basic allows traffic by default. [[202404141419 Network Security Groups|NSGs]] can be used to control access.

If we do not specify SKU, Public IP takes Basic SKU.

Faced this issue when doing the exercise for network routing.
