'Simplified parameter set' approach does not create a public IP for the new VM

[sabuncumurat]

Under section 'Your own gallery' it says:

You can use the simplified parameter set to quickly create a VM from an image. The simplified parameter set uses the VM name to automatically create some of the required resources, like vNet and public IP address, for you.

When the New-AzVM command from the accompanying PowerShell code sampe is run, it does not create a public IP.

(The code as shown is missing a backtick on the line where the -Image option is located but that's a typo and not the cause of the problem.)

At the same time, the detailed full-parameter-set approach is not necessary either. You don't need to individually create the network pieces ahead of time. Simply naming them in the New-AzVM command is sufficient. If the named resource does not exist, New-AzVM will create the missing resource.

HTH.
