Possible error in instructions how to create new cluster in Azure

[artisticcheese]

Instructions for creating cluster New-Cluster -Name <FailoverCluster-Name> -Node ("<node1>","<node2>") –StaticAddress <n.n.n.n> -NoStorage -ManagementPointNetworkType Singleton implying that in Azure you can use Singleton ManagementPointNetworkType and link is provided to blog post (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/08/14/announcing-windows-server-2019-insider-preview-build-17733/#W0YAxO8BfwBRbkzG.97) which explicetly states to use Distributed mode when cluster is hosted in Azure. Which one is correct? I don't beleive you can get more then 1 IP address from DHCP from single NIC in Azure and hence I don't understand how "Singleton" mode as advised shall be able to work in Azure.

Apologies in delayed response. I checked with internal team on this.

From documentation standpoint, It’s not wrong. To make this inline with the blog post, that you can change the ManagementPointNetworkType to Distributed if desired.

The feedback is shared with the doc author for enhancing the document calling this out.
