The public IP address is dynamic by default, so if you don't reserve it, it changes every time you deallocate your virtual machine. So you have to redo any DNS entries you have pointing to the old IP address.

Unless of course your DNS entry points to a server name instead of an IP address. In that situation, it doesn't matter, because your server name doesn't actually change. However, if you have an "A" record pointing to an IP address, then that IP address will need to be updated.

You can reserve an ip address but not assign it (yet) to a virtual machine, by using the command: New-AzureReservedIP –ReservedIPName "MyServer1IP" –Label "Server1IP" –Location "West US 2"

After creating a reserved ip address, you can then assign it afterwards by associating it with a virtual machine service: Set-AzureReservedIPAssociation -ReservedIPName MyReservedIP -ServiceName MyService
