I want to have 2 VMs behind a public facing Load Balancer
. Both the VMs are in an Availability Set
spread across 2 fault domains and 5 update domains (the defaults set for availability sets on the portal).
Strangely, the Load Balancer
does show the Availability Set
when I try to configure the Backend Pool
and hence I'm unable to configure Inbound NAT Rules
for the VMs.
Both the VMs do not have public IPs. They just have their private IPs.
How do I proceed ?

The availability set option does not show up the drop down when I go to configure backend pools for the load balancer. – CodeWalker Jul 12 '18 at 12:04

If I understanding is right, you'are unable to configure inbound NAT rules since the frontend public IP is not assigned. (I have the same experience before). Once I finished Health probe and Load Balancer rule configurations. The frontend IP address is assigned and shown.
I believe you know how to configure the NAT rule, you can get more details from this link.
