Lab Overview

In this lab, you’ll learn how to deploy and configure an internal load balancer in Microsoft Azure.

An internal load balancer allows you to distribute network traffic among multiple virtual machines within a private network. This ensures high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability for your internal applications.

You’ll go through the process of configuring frontend and backend pools, setting up inbound rules, and creating health probes to monitor your virtual machines.

By the end of the lab, you will have a fully functional internal load balancer that can manage traffic across your backend servers.
