Azure availability zones are designed to help you achieve resiliency and reliability for your business-critical workloads. The network module of NMM portal helps you add public IPs and NAT gateways in multiple availability zones. Through this article, let us understand how to go about this.

Log into NMM portal and click "Manage" option on an existing account:

From the main menu on your account's page, select "Network->Public IP". You will be able to view a list of public IPs under this page. Click "Add Public IP" button as shown below:

Select the server, network interface and IP configuration from the respective drop-downs as shown below and click "OK" button:

Similarly, you can select availability zones for your NAT gateway. From the main menu on your account's page, select "Network->NAT Gateway". You will be able to view a list of NAT gateways under this page. Click "Add NAT Gateway" button as shown below:
