How to find the public IP address of a service fabric mesh service

Question

After a Service Fabric Mesh Service has been deployed, how does one find the external facing IP Address. Things tried so far:

1. Looking at the properties and settings of the service in the Azure portal

2. Running the command az mesh app list - this shows a valid response but the IP Address is missing

3. Running the command az mesh app show - this shows a valid response but the IP Address is missing

4. Running the command az mesh service list - this shows a valid response but the IP Address is missing

5. Running the command az mesh service show - this shows a valid response but the IP Address is missing

Answer 1

Update 2018-12-10

The new ApiVersion has been released(2018-09-01-preview) and the new way of exposing Services is by using the Gateway resource. More information can be found on this github thread, and a sample was already added to the original answer

Original Answer

What you are looking for is the network public IP address:

az mesh network show --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myAppNetwork

Public Network

When you deploy an application, you place it in a network resource, this network will provide the access to your application.

Example of a define network in the :

Gateway (preview)

There are plans to provide a gateway that will bridge the external access to an internal network, would work like an ingress in kubernetes, it is still in preview, the solution would be something like this:
