Configuring Health Probes and Load Balancing Rules for Product Integration

You must configure health probes and load-balancing rules for product integration. These ports include 9093 and, optionally, 9092, as well as 32080/82080.

Add a Health Probe for port 9093

  1. On the Azure Portal, find your Azure kubernetes resource group (name format MC_<you_resource_group>_<aks_name>_<location>).
  2. Open the AKS.
  3. Find the entry for the Kubernetes load balancer, then open it.
  4. Click Health probes.
  5. Click +Addto add a Kubernetes load balancer health probe.
  6.  Specify these values:
    • Name: Assign a name to the probe.
    • Protocol: Select TCP.
    • Port: Specify 9093.

Add Load Balancing Rule for Port 9093

  1. Open the Kubernetes load balancer and click Load balancing rules.
  2. Click + Add to add a new Kubernetes load balancing rule.
  3.  Specify these values:
    • Name: Assign a name to the rule.
    • Port: Specify 9093.
    • Backend port: 9093
    • Health probe: Select the port 9093 health probe you just created.
    • Frontend IP Address: Use the public IP address you prepared earlier.

Add a Health Probe for port 9092

  1. On the Azure Portal, locate your Azure Kubernetes resource group (name format MC_<you_resource_group>_<aks_name>_<location>).
  2. Open the AKS.
  3. Locate the entry for the Kubernetes load balancer, then open it.
  4. Click Health probes.
  5. Click +Addto add a Kubernetes load balancer health probe.
  6. Specify these values:
    • Name: Assign a name to the probe.
    • Protocol: Select TCP.
    • Port: Specify 9092.

Add Load Balancing Rule for Port 9092

  1. Open the Kubernetes load balancer and click Load balancing rules.
  2. Click + Add to add a new Kubernetes load balancing rule.
  3.  Specify these values:
    • Name: Assign a name to the rule.
    • Port: Specify 9092.
    • Backend port: Specify 9092.
    • Health probe: Select the port 9092 health probe you just created.
    • Frontend IP Address: Use the public IP address you prepared earlier.

Add a Health Probe for port 32080

  1. On the Azure Portal, locate your Azure kubernetes resource group (name format MC_<you_resource_group>_<aks_name>_<location>).
  2. Open the AKS.
  3. Find the entry for the Kubernetes load balancer, and then open it.
  4. Click Health probes.
  5. Click +Addto add a Kubernetes load balancer health probe.
  6. Specify these values:

Add Load Balancing Rule for Port 32080

  1. Open the Kubernetes load balancer and click Load balancing rules.
  2. Click + Add to add a new Kubernetes load balancing rule.
  3.  Specify these values:
    • Name: Assign a name to the rule.
    • Port: Specify 32080.
    • Backend port: Specify 32080.
    • Health probe: Select the port 32080 health probe you just created.
    • Session persistence: Select Client or Client IP and Protocol. (If one does not work, then try the other.)
    • Frontend IP Address: Use the public IP address you prepared earlier.
