Deploy an IPv6 dual stack application in Azure virtual network - Template

This article provides a list of IPv6 configuration tasks with the portion of the Azure Resource Manager VM template that applies to. Use the template described in this article to deploy a dual stack (IPv4 + IPv6) application using Standard Load Balancer in Azure that includes a dual stack virtual network with IPv4 and IPv6 subnets, a Standard Load Balancer with dual (IPv4 + IPv6) frontend configurations, VMs with NICs that have a dual IP configuration, network security group, and public IPs.

Search for the template sections in the template to see where they should occur.

If you're using a network virtual appliance, add IPv6 routes in the Route Table. Otherwise, this configuration is optional.
