display the correct public IP of the management VM

@guybartal : Thanks for your contribution to the Azure documentation! The author, @dominicbetts, has been notified to review your proposed change.

Hi @guybartal - thanks for the suggested change. I've taken a look at your suggested az command. As an alternative, how about:
az vm list-ip-addresses --name YOUR-VM-NAME --output table

That gives better formatted output that our existing command, and shows just the public IP address of the relevant VM rather than needing you to scan through a list if you have multiple VMs?

[guybartal]

You are correct @dominicbetts , but the Public IP in this case is associated to the external load balancer and not the VM, so you wont see it with this command, that's why I suggested this pull request. if you have another way to get it as single result go for it :)

Hi @guybartal - I expect I'm missing something, but both approaches (yours and mine) give the same IP address:

dominic@Azure:~$ az vm list-ip-addresses --name vm-q4t76 --o table
VirtualMachine    PublicIPAddresses    PrivateIPAddresses
----------------  -------------------  --------------------
vm-q4t76          51.144.102.181       10.0.0.4
dominic@Azure:~$ az network public-ip list -o table --query "[].[name,ipAddress]"
Column1              Column2
-------------------  --------------
domrmtest-public-ip  51.144.102.181

This account only has a single VM in it, so only one shows up in the list from your command. Under what circumstances would you expect the results of these two commands to give different IP addresses?

Thanks, Dominic
