Feature Request: Basic Load Balancer #900

Open mburumaxwell opened 12 months ago

mburumaxwell commented 12 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
For deployment to a custom VNET, allow usage of the basic load balancer.

Describe the solution you'd like.
For test setups and scenarios where there are many open ports which are not as busy, the basic load balancer can reduce the cost significantly. Especially considering that the 2 rules are already used for HTTP/HTTPS without question. Consider deployment of an app such as https://github.com/traccar/traccar with numerous ports open. For production setup, the standard load balancer remains the recommended way and could also be the default.

Describe alternatives you've considered.
The only alternative is to deploy an AKS cluster but that results in lots of maintenance work. Another alternative is to allow creation of public TCP apps without the VNET requirement which is not possible today.
