New-AzPublicIpAddress and -zone = {}

[chillyjim]

With the upcoming New-AzPubLicIpAddress wanting a "-Zone =" argument for a "-SKU = Standard" but blows up if you include it in a "Basic" SKU is it possible to so something like:

I would like to pass an argument as a variable something like:

If ($SKU -eq "Basic") {
$z = $null
}
Else {
$z = '-zone = {}'
}

$PIP = NewPublicIpAddress -Name "$VmName-pip-$i"
-ResourceGroupName $vmInfo.ResourceGroupName -Location $vmInfo.Location
-AllocationMethod Static `
-sku $SKU $z

Thanks much

@chillyjim What you are looking for is called splatting where you can pass an object or array parameters to a cmdlet.

So, for your case, it would be something like this

$z = {}
If ($SKU -neq "Basic") {
$z.Zone = {}
}

$PIP = NewPublicIpAddress -Name "$VmName-pip-$i"
-ResourceGroupName $vmInfo.ResourceGroupName -Location $vmInfo.Location
-AllocationMethod Static `
-sku $SKU @z
