Recovery of Azure Load Balancer and Application Gateway Compute Resources

You can recover compute resources that are attached with load balancer and application gateway that have IP association.

What You can Recover

  • VM connected to LB with NIC-based association: Recover VMs tied directly to a NIC attached to the Load Balancer.

  • VM/VMSS connected to load balancer through public and private IPs: Recover scenarios for VMs and VMSS connected to a load balancer using public/private IP configurations.

  • App Gateway: Recovery support for applications deployed behind application gateway. This includes:

    • Virtual Machines (VMs)

    • VM Scale Sets (VMSS)

    • App Services

    • Function Apps

  • Dependency Recovery: Recovers all necessary dependencies of virtual machines, VMSS, App Services, and Function Apps if they are part of the assembly and the respective resource groups are selected during recovery.

Support Matrix for Load Balancer Recovery

The following table displays load balancer configurtions supported for different recovery types.

Configuration Type Same-Region Recovery Cross-Region Recovery
VM with NIC-based load balancer Yes Yes
VM/VMSS with public IP Yes Yes
VM/VMSS with private IP Yes Yes
VMSS (Uniform) with public IP No No

Support Matrix for Application Gateway Recovery

The following table displays application gateway configurtions supported for different recovery types.

Configuration Type Same-Region Recovery Cross-Region Recovery
VM behind App Gateway Yes Yes
App Service Yes Yes
Function App Yes Yes
VMSS(Flexible) with (Public/Private) IP Yes Yes
VMSS (Uniform) with private IP Yes Yes
VMSS (Uniform) with public IP No No
App Gateway with unsupported FQDNs No No
VMSS (Flexible) behind App Gateway No No

Considerations

Review the following considerations that might affect recovery of load balancer and application gateway:

  • Public IP Management: For resources associated with public IPs, a new public IP will be created and attached to the NIC during recovery.

  • Private IP Management:

    • If you disable the "Retain Private IP ranges" option, private IPs will be dynamically allocated during recovery.

    • If you enable the "Retain Private IP ranges" option, the private IPs will be retained as per the source configuration.

  • VMSS with uniform orchestration mode: VMSS with Uniform orchestration mode attached to a load balancer or an application gateway through a public IP is not supported.

  • VMSS with flexible orchestration mode: VMSS with flexible orchestration mode attached to an application gateway is not supported.

  • Application gateway FQDN support:

    • Only application gateway configurations associated with FQDNs of App Services and Function Apps are supported.

    • Any other FQDNs attached to the application gateway are not supported.
