Azure load balancer - n-tier application
Hi,
I have a n-tier application, so the usual roles: web, processing, data. The would all go into a single vnet, but each tier will be deployed as active/passive, in this case using availability zones.
Subnet 1
Web-1 (active in AZ 1)
Web-2 (passive in AZ2)
Subnet 2
Processing-1 (active in AZ1)
Processing-2 (passive in AZ2)
Subnet 3
Data-1 (active in AZ1)
Data-2 (passive AZ2)
I am planning to use a single Azure Standard LB, which would be in subnet 4 and have 3 front-ends (FE) and 3 backends (BE). There would be a LB rule using HA to map each FE to a BE. Additionally each subnet would be controller with NGS. The question I have is weather using a single Azure LB vs using one for each tier as well as the consideration for availability zones. To explain each app tier has a VM instance in zone 1 (active) and zone 2 (passive), however the LB also has zone redundancy options and I want establish what may be the best option to meet the best HA?
