Load Balancer Session Persistence and Existing Connections Clear Information

Azure does not currently offer native TCP connection rebalancing like GCP Load Balancer does. However, here are some options:

1. Use Azure Application Gateway or Azure Front Door
•    These offer layer 7 routing, health probes, and better failover handling.
•    Application Gateway supports connection draining and session affinity via cookies.
2. Implement retry logic in clients
•    For TCP-based apps, ensure clients can detect dropped connections and retry.
3. Use HA architecture with faster health probes
•    Reduce probe intervals and thresholds to detect failures faster.
•    Combine with autoscaling and zone redundancy.
4. Consider NVA-based load balancing
•    Deploy a third-party network virtual appliance (e.g., F5, Barracuda) that supports session-aware failover.
