In this course, Configuring Load Balancers in Microsoft Azure, you’ll learn to create and configure load balancers in Azure. First, you’ll explore how to configure an external load balancer to route traffic to your application servers. Next, you’ll discover how to add health probes to only send traffic to healthy servers. Finally, you’ll learn how to extend this architecture with an internal load balancer to create a full two-tier architecture. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Azure load balancers needed to configure highly available infrastructures in Microsoft Azure.
