# Public IP Address

A Public IP Address in Azure is a resource that allows Azure services, such as virtual machines, load balancers, or application gateways, to communicate with the internet or external networks. It provides a unique, routable IP address that can be static or dynamic, and supports both IPv4 and IPv6. Public IPs are often used to enable inbound and outbound connectivity, DNS name resolution, and secure access to applications.
