Microsoft Azure – Finding the Right Load Balancing Service
Pre-requisite: AZURE
We can divide incoming application traffic among many targets, such as Virtual Machines (VMs), containers, and IP addresses in our VPC, using Azure load balancer. The load balancer can increase the high availability of applications and decrease the latency for end users. Azure load balancer supports TCP and UDP protocols as well as HTTP/HTTPS and we can route the traffic to Private and Public IP addresses.
