Introduction to Azure Load Balancers
Explore how Azure Load Balancers improve service reliability by routing traffic to healthy backend instances. Learn core components, types, and configurations to build load-balanced web services in Azure.
Services fail, web servers go down, databases go offline, and network glitches happen; it’s inevitable. To ensure services to end-users remain up amongst these failures, you must add a resource that intelligently “routes” traffic to redundant services. One way to add high-availability to services in Azure is to use Azure Load Balancer.
Azure Load Balancer is an Azure resource that sits in front of various internal and public-facing services that accept inbound connections. Rather than having a web service or database accept inbound connections directly, Azure Load Balancer is the front line that accepts connections for them.
