Configure a NetScaler VPX high availability setup on Azure VMware solution
You can configure a NetScaler VPX HA setup on Azure VMware solution (AVS) for internet facing applications.
The following diagram shows the NetScaler VPX HA pair on AVS. A client can access the AVS service by connecting to the VIP of the primary ADC node inside the AVS. You can achieve this by provisioning a NetScaler load balancer or the Azure load balancer instance outside AVS but in the same Azure virtual network. Configure the load balancer to access the VIP of primary ADC node within AVS service.
Prerequisites
Before you begin installing a virtual appliance, read the following Azure prerequisites:
-
