Overview of this book

Microsoft provides organizations with an effective way of managing their network with Azure's networking services. No matter the size of your organization, Azure provides a way to highly reliable performance and secure connectivity with its networking services. The book starts with an introduction to the Azure networking like creating Azure virtual networks, designing address spaces and subnets. Then you will learn to create and manage network security groups, application security groups, and IP addresses in Azure. Gradually, we move on to various aspects like S2S, P2S, and Vnet2Vnet connections, DNS and routing, load balancers and traffic manager. This book will cover every aspect and function required to deliver practical recipes to help readers learn from basic cloud networking practices to planning, implementing, and securing their infrastructure network with Azure. Readers will not only be able to upscale their current environment but will also learn to monitor, diagnose, and ensure secure connectivity.

Load Balancers

Load balancers are used to support scaling and high availability for applications and services. A load balancer is primarily composed of two components—a frontend and a backend. Requests coming to the frontend of a load balancer are distributed to the backend, where we place multiple instances of a service. This can be used for performance-related reasons, where we would like to distribute traffic equally between endpoints in the backend, or for high availability, where multiple instances of services are used to increase the chance that at least one endpoint will be available at all times.

We will cover the following recipes in this chapter:

  • Creating an internal load balancer
  • Creating a public load balancer
  • Creating a backend pool
  • Creating health probes
  • Creating load balancer rules
  • Creating inbound NAT rules
