Azure Updates

Announcing the general availability of Azure Load Balancer Administrative State (Admin State), which simplifies managing backend pool instances.

Admin State enables you to override the health probe behavior for each instance without additional configuration changes to your Load Balancer such as changing network security rules or closing ports.

This makes management, especially during maintenance easy, allowing you to set instances as up or down and control connection behavior with no additional overhead.

Learn more about admin state via our public documentation or blog.
