Determining the public IP address of your CloudShell session

Michal_F use the following to create a profile file in your cloud shell and then you can use get-ip whenever you like

I had to calculate and create the directory and file name via the script for some reason. If I grabbed the values and manually created the file/directory they were not picked up by PowerShell when I logged in.

I used get-ip to fit in with the standard verb-noun naming convention

#Create the directory to contain the profile file
md (split-path $profile.CurrentUserAllHosts)
#Create function to grab the ip
"function get-ip {curl -s checkip.dyndns.org | sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'}" | out-file (split-path $profile.currentuserallhosts -leaf)

#Now restart cloudshell
