}

output "public_ips" { value = "${azurerm_public_ip.ap-service-discovery-server-0.ip_address}" }

Expected Behavior

The public ip should be retrievable as per the docs.

Actual Behavior

• Resource 'azurerm_public_ip.ap-service-discovery-server-0' does not have attribute 'ip_address' for variable 'azurerm_public_ip.ap-service-discovery-server-0.ip_address'

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:

1. create a vm, with a public IP, then try and access that public ip from another resource or for module output.

Given Dynamic Public IP's aren't allocated an IP Address until they're assigned by design within Azure, and there's a workaround listed (pulling this information from the azurerm_public_ip data source once the VM/LB etc has been created and the Dynamic IP has been assigned). More details are available in the original issue.

I've opened #313 which updates the documentation to explain that the Data Source exists - but unfortunately I don't think there's much more we can do to make the UX better at this point in time; and as such I'm going to close this issue for the moment.

Thanks!
