Azure: Creating public ip address with Python

Question

I'm trying to create a public ip address in Azure with the Python SDK and I can't figure out why am I getting an error. Here's my code :

netclient.public_ip_addresses.create_or_update('testgrp','testsdknic',{'location':'uksouth','sku':'standard','public_ip_allocation_method':'dynamic','public_ip_address_version':'ipv4'})

And this is the error I get :

SerializationError: Unable to build a model: Unable to deserialize to object: type, AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get', DeserializationError: Unable to deserialize to object: type, AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'

I have tried several things but while I'm succeeding in creating a network interface, I can't create the public IP. Could anyone provide me with some guidance here please ? Many thanks in advance.

For this issue, it caused by the property sku of the public IP address, it's the string, but a PublicIPAddressSku. So the code you need to change into this:

netclient.public_ip_addresses.create_or_update('testgrp','testsdknic',{'location':'uksouth',
'sku':{'name': 'standard'},'public_ip_allocation_method':'static','public_ip_address_version':'ipv4'})

And watch out, when you use the standard for the public IP address, then it should be in the static allocation method.

You've nailed it ! thanks. I must confess that I have a real hard time understanding Microsoft doc. The AWS Boto3 one is so much clearer ! Anyway thanks for that.
