Deployment to Private Network

[cbrown101]

Deployment of mock spacestation script deploys two vm instances with azure public IP's. Currently using a subscription behind an expressroute. Would like to use customer owned networking in deployment.

Can the script be updated to include deployment using a custom private IP address from existing vnet?

Hey @cbrown101 thanks for opening up an enhancement! That doesn't sound unreasonable. The team will take a look and tag you back here in this Issue when a change is in that optionally allows the use of a private IP address from an existing virtual network.

Should be able to make use of the mock spacestation on a local machine with Visual Studio Code or from an Azure VM thanks to @bigtallcampbell. We'll get the docs updated soon with an explicit walkthrough on how you can see ground station and space station directories synchronize.

Attempted to deploy new json file, it still requires a public IP. I need to deploy this using our internal vnet addressing while not using a public IP.

We'll make updates to the docs to make it a bit easier, but have you tried cloning the repository and opening it with Visual Studio Code's Remote Containers? The groundstation and spacestation will be provisioned locally as containers without deploying a virtual machine to Azure.
