In Azure, when a virtual machine (VM) is deployed in a virtual network without an explicitly defined outbound connectivity method, it's automatically assigned an outbound public IP address. This IP address enables outbound connectivity from the resources to the internet and to other public endpoints within Microsoft. This access is referred to as default outbound access.

If you want to view which of your virtual machines or virtual machine scale sets have a default outbound IP assigned to them, follow these steps:
