Thanks for posting this sample. I needed to create an ARM template where I had to create a VM with instance IP. I was able to use your script to create a VM, use azure resource explorer to view the settings and create my template.

Hi thanks for this.. getting the following on.. any ideas?

New-AzurePublicIpAddress -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGrpName -AllocationMethod Dynamic

New-AzurePublicIpAddress : Value cannot be null.
