Azure PowerShell script example: Load balance multiple websites

This Azure PowerShell script example creates a virtual network with two virtual machines (VM) that are members of an availability set. A load balancer directs traffic for two separate IP addresses to the two VMs. After running the script, you could deploy web server software to the VMs and host multiple web sites, each with its own IP address.

If needed, install the Azure PowerShell using the instruction found in the Azure PowerShell guide, and then run Login-AzureRmAccount to create a connection with Azure.

Clean up deployment

Run the following command to remove the resource group, VM, and all related resources.

Remove-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name myResourceGroup

Script explanation

This script uses the following commands to create a resource group, virtual network, load balancer, and all related resources. Each command in the table links to command specific documentation.

Command	Notes
New-AzureRmResourceGroup	Creates a resource group in which all resources are stored.
New-AzureRmAvailabilitySet	Creates an Azure availability set to provide high availability.
New-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig	Creates a subnet configuration. This configuration is used with the virtual network creation process.
New-AzureRmVirtualNetwork	Creates a virtual network.
New-AzureRmPublicIpAddress	Creates a public IP address.
New-AzureRmLoadBalancerFrontendIpConfig	Creates a front end IP config for a load balancer.
New-AzureRmLoadBalancerBackendAddressPoolConfig	Creates a backend address pool configuration for a load balancer.
New-AzureRmLoadBalancerProbeConfig	Creates an NLB probe. An NLB probe is used to monitor each VM in the NLB set. If any VM becomes inaccessible, traffic is not routed to the VM.
New-AzureRmLoadBalancerRuleConfig	Creates an NLB rule. In this sample, a rule is created for port 80. As HTTP traffic arrives at the NLB, it is routed to port 80 one of the VMs in the NLB set.
New-AzureRmLoadBalancer	Creates a load balancer.
New-AzureRmNetworkInterfaceIpConfig	Defines advanced features for a virtual network interface.
New-AzureRmNetworkInterface	Creates a network interface.
New-AzureRmVMConfig	Creates a VM configuration. This configuration includes information such as VM name, operating system, and administrative credentials. The configuration is used during VM creation.
