When you create a VM in the Azure portal, a dynamic public IP resource for the VM is created. Once the VM is created, you can also set a host name. By setting a host name you can access the site from the same URL each time.

To set the host name, complete the following steps.

  1. Select your VM in the portal.
  2. Click DNS name: Configure.
  3. Enter the chosen host name in the DNS name label field, and click Save.

The host name is saved in the following format: <hostname>.centralus.cloudapp.azure.com, where <hostname> is the chosen host name.

For example, to save the host name as dnshost, enter dnshost in the DNS name label field, and click Save. The host name is saved as dnshost.centralus.cloudapp.azure.com

  • You can now connect remotely to MOVEit Automation on the VM using this host name.
