In the tutorial, you specify a zone for your frontend and backend instances. In this tutorial, you learn how to: Y Create a virtual network with an Azure Bastion host for management. Y Create a NAT gateway for outbound internet access of the resources in the virtual network. VY Create a load balancer with a health probe and traffic rules. Y Create zonal virtual machines (VMs) and attach them to a load balancer. Y Create a basic Internet Information Services (IIS) site. Y Test the load balancer. For more information about availability zones and a standard load balancer, see Standard load balancer and availability zones.
