# Public IP Prefix

A Public IP Prefix in Azure is a reserved range of contiguous public IP addresses that you can allocate to your resources. It provides predictable addressing, simplifies IP management, and helps ensure consistent routing. This is useful for scenarios requiring multiple public IPs with stable ranges, such as load balancers, firewalls, or large-scale deployments.
