If you're currently using AWS Network Load Balancer (NLB) and planning to migrate your workload to Azure, this guide helps you understand the migration process, feature mappings, and best practices. On Azure, [Azure Load Balancer](load-balancer-overview.md) provides high-performance, ultra-low-latency Layer 4 load balancing capabilities that enable you to manage TCP and UDP traffic to your applications. You'll learn how to assess your current environment, plan & prepare the migration, and execute the transition while maintaining application availability and performance.

In this example, a gaming company operates a high-performance multiplayer gaming platform using AWS Network Load Balancer (NLB) to handle both TCP and UDP traffic simultaneously from game clients. The workload's architecture includes session management services running on EC2 instances handling player authentication and lobbies over TCP on port 7777, and real-time game data services deployed on EC2 instances processing low-latency gameplay packets over UDP on port 7778. The AWS NLB provides static IP addresses, cross-zone load balancing, and client IP preservation for game analytics and anti-cheat systems. This setup supports the workload's core gaming function of processing real-time multiplayer gaming with ultra-low latency while maintaining reliability across multiple availability zones.
