Go back to AZ-304 Tutorials<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AZ-304 exam is retired.\u00a0AZ-305<\/a>\u00a0replacement is available.<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this, we will learn and understand about different components of the Azure load balancing that distribute traffic and provide high availability. Moreover, we will understand the process of creating an Azure load balancer, load balancer traffic rules, and more. Further, we will learn about Azure traffic routing methods for determining how to route network traffic to the various service endpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview of Azure load balancing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An Azure load balancing is a Layer-4 (TCP, UDP) load balancer that provides high availability by distributing incoming traffic among healthy VMs. Moreover, this also monitors a given port on each VM and only distributes traffic to an operational VM. In this, you define a front-end IP configuration that contains one or more public IP addresses. However, this front-end IP configuration allows your load balancer and applications to be accessible over the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating Azure load balancer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In this, we will create and configure each component of the load balancer. For example, we will create a resource group with New-AzResourceGroup. However, the example below creates a resource group named myResourceGroupLoadBalancer in the EastUS location:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azure PowerShell<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New-AzResourceGroup `<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  -ResourceGroupName “myResourceGroupLoadBalancer” `<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  -Location “EastUS”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a public IP address<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For accessing apps on the Internet, you require a public IP address for the load balancing. Creating a public IP address with New-AzPublicIpAddress. For example, creates a public IP address named myPublicIP in the myResourceGroupLoadBalancer resource group:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azure PowerShell<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

$publicIP = New-AzPublicIpAddress `<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  -ResourceGroupName “myResourceGroupLoadBalancer” `<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  -Location “EastUS” `<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  -AllocationMethod “Static” `<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  -Name “myPublicIP”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
