How it works...

The load balancer rule is the final piece that ties all the components together. We define which frontend IP address is used and to which backend the pool traffic will be forwarded to. The health probe is assigned to monitor the endpoints in the backend pool and to keep track of whether there are any unresponsive endpoints. We also create port mapping that will determine which protocol and port the load balancer will listen on, and, when the traffic arrives, where this traffic will be forwarded.
