Azure load balancer

• You can have an application hosted on a set of machines.
• You want user traffic to be distributed equally across the machines.
• For this we can make use of the Azure Load Balancer service,
• Here the Azure Load Balancer can distribute traffic across the private IP addresses of the backend machines.
• Load Balancer SKU’s - The Basic SKU is going to retire on September 30, 2025

In azure we have standard load balancer which have SLA (Service Level Agreement) of 99.99%

loadbalancer healthy or not (health probe )

To use loadbalancer it is necessary to make a machines (vms) in availability set or scale set
