-Standard SKU public IP addresses:
-
-- Always use static allocation method.
-- Have an adjustable inbound originated flow idle timeout of 4-30 minutes, with a default of 4 minutes, and fixed outbound originated flow idle timeout of 4 minutes.
-- Designed to align with the "secure by default" model and be closed to inbound traffic when used as a frontend.  Allowlisting data plane traffic with [network security group](../../virtual-network/network-security-groups-overview.md#network-security-groups) (NSG) is required (for example, on the NIC of a virtual machine with a Standard SKU Public IP attached).

-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Only public IP addresses with basic SKU are available when using [instance metadata service IMDS](../../virtual-machines/windows/instance-metadata-service.md). Standard SKU is not supported.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Diagnostic settings don't appear under the resource blade when using a standard SKU public IP address. To enable logging on your standard public IP address resource, navigate to diagnostic settings under the Azure Monitor blade and select your IP address resource.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Inbound communication with a Standard SKU resource fails until you create and associate a [network security group](../../virtual-network/network-security-groups-overview.md#network-security-groups) and explicitly allow the desired inbound traffic.

 > [!NOTE]
 > Basic SKU IPv4 addresses can be upgraded after creation to Standard SKU.  To learn about SKU upgrade, refer to [Public IP upgrade](public-ip-upgrade-portal.md).
 
 >[!IMPORTANT]
-> Matching SKUs are required for load balancer and public IP resources. You can't have a mixture of Basic SKU resources and standard SKU resources. You can't attach standalone virtual machines, virtual machines in an availability set resource, or a virtual machine scale set resources to both SKUs simultaneously.  New designs should consider using Standard SKU resources.  Please review [Standard Load Balancer](../../load-balancer/load-balancer-overview.md?toc=%2fazure%2fvirtual-network%2ftoc.json) for details.
