Virtual network
A container where you define the IP address ranges your virtual machines will use. Microsoft Azure uses infinite-lease DHCP addresses and you can’t assign static IP addresses.

Site-to-Site VPN gateway and subnet
When you setup a VPN connection, the VPN service resides in a separate subnet. Microsoft Azure manages the primary and secondary instances of this service for high availability. You will not see the secondary instance. You do not need to configure high availability for the VPN service.

Availability sets and fault domains
Configure identical server roles to be part of an availability set. This ensures that the VMs are spread across multiple fault domains.
A fault domain is a grouping of hardware in which role instances run.

Virtual Machine Availability Sets Putting two or more VMs in availability sets
guarantees that your VMs are spread across multiple racks in the Azure Data Centers.
This means redundant power supply, switches and servers.

Resaved IP and Load Balancer Configuration
Reserved IP Addresses• Incase virtual machines are shut down, your IP release and you will another
IP when u restart you VM, Reserved IP help persistent the external IP• Reserved IP Addresses for Cloud Service Ips• Persistent external IP address even if all virtual machines are stopped or
deleted.• The first 5 reserved IPs IN USE is free. If they are left unused you have to pay for them. • The pricing is cheap at $0.005 per hour per IP (~$4/month per IP).• EA subscriber your subscription is limited to at most 5 IPs.
Set via the Azure PowerShell CmdletsNew-AzureReservedIP -ReservedIPName "myIP" `-Location "West US"New-AzureVM -ReservedIPName "myIP" ...
Port Forwarding Input Endpoints• Cloud service has only one external IP address, port
forwarding is used to direct various access requirements to the right location

HTTP Health Probe• HTTP gives you a bit more flexibility and power on what actions you can take• Health probe every 15 seconds• ProbePath is essentially a relative HTTP URL on your web servers that will respond
with an HTTP 200 if the server is fine and ANY other response if the node will be taken out of rotation
