Description

The New-AzLoadBalancer cmdlet creates an Azure load balancer.

Examples

Example 1: Create a load balancer

$publicip = New-AzPublicIpAddress -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -Name "MyPublicIp" -Location "West US" -AllocationMethod "Dynamic"
$frontend = New-AzLoadBalancerFrontendIpConfig -Name "MyFrontEnd" -PublicIpAddress $publicip
$backendAddressPool = New-AzLoadBalancerBackendAddressPoolConfig -Name "MyBackendAddPoolConfig02"
$probe = New-AzLoadBalancerProbeConfig -Name "MyProbe" -Protocol "http" -Port 80 -IntervalInSeconds 15 -ProbeCount 2 -ProbeThreshold 2 -RequestPath "healthcheck.aspx"
$inboundNatRule1 = New-AzLoadBalancerInboundNatRuleConfig -Name "MyinboundNatRule1" -FrontendIPConfiguration $frontend -Protocol "Tcp" -FrontendPort 3389 -BackendPort 3389 -IdleTimeoutInMinutes 15 -EnableFloatingIP
$inboundNatRule2 = New-AzLoadBalancerInboundNatRuleConfig -Name "MyinboundNatRule2" -FrontendIPConfiguration $frontend -Protocol "Tcp" -FrontendPort 3391 -BackendPort 3392
$lbrule = New-AzLoadBalancerRuleConfig -Name "MyLBruleName" -FrontendIPConfiguration $frontend -BackendAddressPool $backendAddressPool -Probe $probe -Protocol "Tcp" -FrontendPort 80 -BackendPort 80 -IdleTimeoutInMinutes 15 -EnableFloatingIP -LoadDistribution SourceIP
$lb = New-AzLoadBalancer -Name "MyLoadBalancer" -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -Location "West US" -FrontendIpConfiguration $frontend -BackendAddressPool $backendAddressPool -Probe $probe -InboundNatRule $inboundNatRule1,$inboundNatRule2 -LoadBalancingRule $lbrule
Get-AzLoadBalancer -Name "MyLoadBalancer" -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup"

Deploying a load balancer requires that you first create several objects, and the first seven commands show how to create those objects. The eighth command creates a load balancer named MyLoadBalancer in the resource group named MyResourceGroup. The ninth and last command gets the new load balancer to ensure it was successfully created. Note that this example only shows how to create a load balancer. You must also configure it using the Add-AzNetworkInterfaceIpConfig cmdlet to assign the NICs to different virtual machines.

Example 2: Create a global load balancer

$publicip = New-AzPublicIpAddress -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -name "MyPublicIp" -Location "West US" -AllocationMethod Static -DomainNameLabel $domainNameLabel -Sku Standard -Tier Global
$frontend = New-AzLoadBalancerFrontendIpConfig -Name $frontendName -PublicIpAddress $publicip
$backendAddressPool = New-AzLoadBalancerBackendAddressPoolConfig -Name "MyBackendAddPoolConfig01"
$probe = New-AzLoadBalancerProbeConfig -Name "MyProbe" -RequestPath healthcheck.aspx -Protocol http -Port 80 -IntervalInSeconds 15 -ProbeCount 2 -ProbeThreshold 2
$lbrule = New-AzLoadBalancerRuleConfig -Name "MyLBruleName" -FrontendIPConfiguration $frontend -BackendAddressPool $backendAddressPool -Probe $probe -Protocol Tcp -FrontendPort 80 -BackendPort 80 -IdleTimeoutInMinutes 15 -EnableFloatingIP -LoadDistribution SourceIP -DisableOutboundSNAT
$lb = New-AzLoadBalancer -Name "MyLoadBalancer" -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -Location "West US" -FrontendIpConfiguration $frontend -BackendAddressPool $backendAddressPool -Probe $probe -LoadBalancingRule $lbrule -Sku Standard -Tier Global
Get-AzLoadBalancer -Name "MyLoadBalancer" -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup"

Deploying a global load balancer requires that you first create several objects, and the first five commands show how to create those objects. The sixth command creates a load balancer named MyLoadBalancer in the resource group named MyResourceGroup. The seventh and last command gets the new load balancer to ensure it was successfully created. Note that this example only shows how to create a global load balancer. You must also configure it using the New-AzLoadBalancerBackendAddressConfig cmdlet to assign regional load balancer frontend ipconfig ids to its backend address pool
