 # Configure a load balancer for an availability group on Azure SQL Server VMs
+[!INCLUDE[appliesto-sqlvm](../../includes/appliesto-sqlvm.md)]
+
+
 This article explains how to create a load balancer for a SQL Server Always On availability group in Azure virtual machines that are running with Azure Resource Manager. An availability group requires a load balancer when the SQL Server instances are on Azure virtual machines. The load balancer stores the IP address for the availability group listener. If an availability group spans multiple regions, each region needs a load balancer.
 
 To complete this task, you need to have a SQL Server availability group deployed on Azure virtual machines that are running with Resource Manager. Both SQL Server virtual machines must belong to the same availability set. You can use the [Microsoft template](availability-group-azure-marketplace-template-configure.md) to automatically create the availability group in Resource Manager. This template automatically creates an internal load balancer for you.

 # Use Azure Storage for SQL Server Backup and Restore

 Starting with SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU2, you can now write SQL Server backups directly to the Azure Blob storage service. You can use this functionality to back up to and restore from the Azure Blob service with an on-premises SQL Server database or a SQL Server database in an Azure virtual machine. Backup to cloud offers benefits of availability, limitless geo-replicated off-site storage, and ease of migration of data to and from the cloud. You can issue BACKUP or RESTORE statements by using Transact-SQL or SMO.

 # Backup and Restore for SQL Server in Azure Virtual Machines
+[!INCLUDE[appliesto-sqlvm](../../includes/appliesto-sqlvm.md)]
 
 This article provides guidance on the backup and restore options available for SQL Server running in a Windows virtual machine in Azure. Azure Storage maintains three copies of every Azure VM disk to guarantee protection against data loss or physical data corruption. Thus, unlike on-premises, you don't need to focus on hardware failures. However, you should still backup your SQL Server databases to protect against application or user errors, such as inadvertent data insertions or deletions. In this situation, it is important to be able to restore to a specific point in time.

 # High availability and disaster recovery for SQL Server in Azure Virtual Machines
+[!INCLUDE[appliesto-sqlvm](../../includes/appliesto-sqlvm.md)]
 
 Microsoft Azure virtual machines (VMs) with SQL Server can help lower the cost of a high availability and disaster recovery (HADR) database solution. Most SQL Server HADR solutions are supported in Azure virtual machines, both as Azure-only and as hybrid solutions. In an Azure-only solution, the entire HADR system runs in Azure. In a hybrid configuration, part of the solution runs in Azure and the other part runs on-premises in your organization. The flexibility of the Azure environment enables you to move partially or completely to Azure to satisfy the budget and HADR requirements of your SQL Server database systems.

While running SQL Server in Azure Virtual Machines, we recommend that you continue using the same database performance tuning options that are applicable to SQL Server in on-premises server environment. However, the performance of a relational database in a public cloud depends on many factors such as the size of a virtual machine, and the configuration of the data disks.

However, the performance of a relational database in a public cloud depends on many factors such as the size of a virtual machine, and the configuration of the data disks.
 
 [SQL Server images provisioned in the Azure portal](sql-vm-create-portal-quickstart.md) follow general storage configuration best practices (for more information on how storage is configured, see [Storage configuration for SQL Server VMs](storage-configuration.md)). After provisioning, consider applying other optimizations discussed in this article. Base your choices on your workload and verify through testing.
