Virtual Machine Has Public IP

Overview​

This check verifies that an Azure Virtual Machine does not have a public IP address assigned to it. If a Virtual Machine needs to communicate with the internet, consider using a service that provides outbound connections, like Azure NAT Gateway or Azure Firewall. These services provide a secure and scalable way for Virtual Machines to communicate with the internet without needing a public IP address.
