Picking the right Azure Load Balancing Solution

In this video I walk through why we need load balancing, the different layer 4 and layer 7 solutions with Azure Load Balancer and Azure App Gateway within a region, then look at the global load balancing solutions including Front Door, Global Load Balancer and Azure Traffic Manager.

Although I passed az700, I often refer this channel to refresh my memory. John is Azure's one stop solution. Connect to a headphone and walk, Rest, do your work and listen to his lectures. Still you can Crack any Azure certifications.

[@koodauskanava9096]

This channel is pretty much #1 if you are working with Azure. Can't say thanks enough for all the effort. 🙏

[@NTFAQGuy]

Wow, thank you!

[@amoharroudj1044]

I need to buy you a beer to thank you for all the content you have been creating. Thanks so much for that, I can't be grateful enough.

[@kamtew]

You explain any topic such like that complex things becomes simpler. Thanks for your hard effort behind the scene to make knowledgeable videos.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Stateoftheheart]

Thanks John for another great training video! Awesome break down & very helpful.

[@JosiahWarren]

Thanks so much. Sharing your thought process is invaluable.

Speaking of doing MS a favor, I was on a teams meeting with MS talking about AAD Connect and slowness syncing issue. The PFE is really good I have worked with before, but he suggested a health check along with what he thought the problem was. I commented that “John Savill would be a better source to ask before MS Premier.” The MS PFE said “I agree. I wish he worked for us”.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Lol that’s funny

[@James-sc1lz]

Excellent video. Very will explained. Thank you John.

[@shamikbanerjee5164]

What an awesome video. Coupled with the masterclass series, these are career building stuff. "Simplified" a less understood topic with such clarity. I have started to take notes from your videos, improving my knowledge by the day. Simply brilliant, the content as well as the presentation. Thank you so much, John :-)

[@NTFAQGuy]

Awesome, glad it helps.

[@nikz0001]

to all John fans if you weren't aware till now ...the whiteboards John is creating during the videos are also available at github...(link in discription) .Friday can't just can get any better :) This channel is pretty much #1 if you are working with Azure. Can't say thanks enough for all the effort. 🙏

[@masoudkooranloo908]

It goes without saying, you are the best in azure!

Great video. Thanks John.

[@nzalex1]

Very useful, thank you, John

[@RahulDanwade]

Thank you, Mr.J. I don't think anything can be better-explained crystal clear than this. The weekend plan for me is to binge-watch all your Azure Videos. BTW, can you also share a video on how to finish 'IRON MAN' within a cut-off time? :)

[@NTFAQGuy]

Lol put in the work :)

[@ajitfunde]

What an awesome video!!! please keep it up!!!!

Great content John!

Thanks!

[@PraveenGangasani]

Now I get it, Thank you

[@OgnyanDimitrov]

Thanks for the great video. One part imho is worth segmenting in the timeline of the video is from 7:15 to 7:57 - The segmentation of the solutions based on type of traffic and region. This is really useful for segmenting the solutions (mentally) and making it easy to separate the concepts and layer them when needed. Really useful info in two sentences. Maybe I am a sound freak but on AKG 530 I can hear the 50 hz buzz coming from one of the devices in the setup. I really like the new setup - mic is better than the previous because there is no echo (like in some old videos) and the sound feels nice and detailed.

[@DeTudoUmPouco12651]

Hey John another great video; thanks for sharing with us. Another nice topic would be to share how you keep all your skills sharp and know to be more selective. For example, every day a new technology is out, different cloud providers capabilities, etc. And it's impossible to be excellent in everything, you need to be more selective for things you want to be good at. So, how you handle your curiosity? Like keeping your current skills sharp and also have a life? Haha, I think it is more kind of a philosophical question, but it would be great to see your perspective on this; for me, it has been a daily battle, and sometimes I have the feeling that I'm good and a lot of things but at the same time I'm bad at the same thing if I missed something.

[@NTFAQGuy]

I'm doing an AMA on Wednesday. You could ask that then :-) Great question.

[@UsmanKhalil84]

It would not be justice to listen and not giving thanks. I don't know why should we spent a lot of money in buying these kind of lectures online when they are freely delivered by people like you. Huge 🙏

[@sidzhang]

Love it

[@austinstechdump4725]

This might be helpful in your AZ305 playlist. I am seeing a few questions on picking load balancers

[@NTFAQGuy]

done.

[@gurupa686]

Brilliant!!!!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thank you

[@maciejpakulski1182]

Yeah, that's what I've been waiting for :) Thanks John !

[@NTFAQGuy]

You bet!

[@paddyland74]

Great video once again. Love your collection.. Would love to know the retailer if it's an online one.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Collection? Sorry of what?

[@Hrifudusowo]

@@NTFAQGuy what a coincidence when I saw the KZbin notification.. we were just playing with Trafic Manager profiles today, and trying to figure what would be the best solution to use for cloud FireEye HX to probe internal resources

[@Shobu55]

Can I combine the Azure AppGateway with the regular L4 Azure Loadbalancer? So first the L7 LB and then add the privateIP of my L4 LB as the BackendPool in my Azure AppGateway?

[@NTFAQGuy]

What use case? Could you yes docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-gateway/application-gateway-components#backend-pools but not sure the benefit. More hops and harder to troubleshoot etc. keep as simple as possible

[@julietjefrin4374]

John, what is the right scenario to use Load balancer outbound rule Vs NAT gateway?

[@NTFAQGuy]

If you had resources behind internal SLB but need outbound, don't want to worry about scaling of SNAT port exhaustion, control of egress IPs etc.

[@dancooper9377]

Hi John. If we have public facing lb in prod north europe and public lb in DR site west europe. The solution routes email. Vms will be replicated with asr to dr site. Could we configure traffic manager to route traffic to public load balancers?

[@NTFAQGuy]

It is dns and can point to any host name but mail is normally mx records and don’t think traffic manager supports mx records

[@prrrabu]

Can I have Loadbalancer in on prem and workload on azure as backend pools?

[@NTFAQGuy]

Azure load balancer is an azure resource. You could access the front end from on premises if have s2s vpn or expressroute if private or if public from internet.

[@ammarkheder3071]

I wish I have half on your muscles and half of your brain

[@NTFAQGuy]

Lol. Definitely more to life than Azure knowledge ;)
