When we spin a new ubuntu block in azure, we get a public IP address for that block. I am working off a trial account. Does anyone know how many public IP addresses can Azure provide? Is there a limit. I believe there is a limit on AWS and then they want us to use some VPN like solution. Does this limit exist on Azure or not ?

I don’t think there is a limit. You get a public IP address for every active deployment in a Cloud Service. Creating a Virtual Machine creates a Cloud Service behind the scene and puts an active deployment on it. That public IP address is guaranteed to not be changed while your deployment is there (not deleted). Whether that public IP address is shared with other deployment – I don’t know (but my guess is – yes). By default there is a limit for the number of cloud services one can create. This limit depends on the type of subscription you have. So this is the kind of limitation there is in Azure.
