When you connect to a VM by using Azure Bastion, you don't need a public IP address for your VM. If you aren't using the public IP address for anything else, you can dissociate it from your VM:
-
Go to your virtual machine. On the Overview page, click the Public IP address to open the Public IP address page.
-
On the Public IP address page, go to Overview. You can view the resource that this IP address is Associated to. Select Dissociate at the top of the pane.
-
Select Yes to dissociate the IP address from the VM network interface. After you dissociate the public IP address from the network interface, verify that it's no longer listed under Associated to.
-
After you dissociate the IP address, you can delete the public IP address resource. On the Public IP address pane for the VM, at the top of the Overview page, select Delete.
-
Select Yes to delete the public IP address.
