# Multiple frontends for Azure Load Balancer
1717

18-
Azure Load Balancer allows you to load balance services on multiple ports, multiple IP addresses, or both. You can use public and internal load balancer definitions to load balance flows across a set of VMs.

Azure Load Balancer allows you to load balance services on multiple ports, multiple IP addresses, or both. You can use a public or internal load balancer to load balance traffic across a set of services like virtual machine scale sets (VMSS) or virtual machines (VMs).

This article describes the fundamentals of this ability, important concepts, and constraints. If you only intend to expose services on one IP address, you can find simplified instructions for [public](./quickstart-load-balancer-standard-public-portal.md) or [internal](./quickstart-load-balancer-standard-internal-portal.md) load balancer configurations. Adding multiple frontends is incremental to a single frontend configuration. Using the concepts in this article, you can expand a simplified configuration at any time.

When you define an Azure Load Balancer, a frontend and a backend pool configuration are connected with rules. The health probe referenced by the rule is used to determine how new flows are sent to a node in the backend pool. The frontend (also known as VIP) is defined by a 3-tuple comprised of an IP address (public or internal), a transport protocol (UDP or TCP), and a port number from the load balancing rule. The backend pool is a collection of Virtual Machine IP configurations (part of the NIC resource) which reference the Load Balancer backend pool.

When you define an Azure Load Balancer, a frontend and a backend pool configuration are connected with a load balancing rule. The health probe referenced by the load balancing rule is used to determine the health of a VM on a certain port and protocol. Based on the health probe results, new flows are sent to VMs in the backend pool. The frontend is defined by a 3-tuple comprised of an IP address (public or internal), a transport protocol (UDP or TCP), and a port number from the load balancing rule. The backend pool is a collection of Virtual Machine IP configurations (part of the NIC resource) which reference the Load Balancer backend pool.
