Backend pools support addition of instances via [network interface or IP addresses](backend-pool-management.md). VMs do not need a public IP address in order to be attached to backend pool of a public load balancer. Also, you can attach VMs to the backend pool of a load balancer even if they are in a stopped state.

You can also configure multiple backend pools with different groups of instances to a single load balancer. By creating multiple load balancing rules, each targeting a different backend pool, you can configure traffic to distribute to different sets of backend resources based on the load balancer frontend port and protocol.
