Azure-docs: Can we rename a Public IP name once created?
Can we rename a public IP address to some meaning full name once created? One way is I can delete and create a new IP but in that case I will loose the IP already associated.

@moirf , as of today rename option is not available for any resources in Azure. You need to delete and recreate it.

For most resources that's pretty simple. For public IP address, they might change. Is it possible to ensure that the same IP address be assigned to the re-created address object?

I am in the same boat. Someone in my org erroneously named the IP address using an IP address, but they are different. So I have a scenario like this:
Name: 1.2.3.4
IPv4 Address: 5.6.7.8
This hosts a production resource and we cannot lose this static IP address.
How can I rename this resource so that the name isn't set to "1.2.3.4"?
