  name     = "LoadBalancerRG"
  location = "West US"
}

resource "azurerm_public_ip" "test" {

  frontend_ip_configuration {
    name                 = "PublicIPAddress"
    public_ip_address_id = "${azurerm_public_ip.test.id}"
  }
}

resource "azurerm_lb_rule" "test" {
  resource_group_name            = "${azurerm_resource_group.test.name}"
  loadbalancer_id                = "${azurerm_lb.test.id}"
  name                           = "LBRule"
  protocol                       = "Tcp"
  frontend_port                  = 3389
  backend_port                   = 3389
  frontend_ip_configuration_name = "PublicIPAddress"
}

» Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • name - (Required) Specifies the name of the LB Rule.
  • resource_group_name - (Required) The name of the resource group in which to create the resource.
  • loadbalancer_id - (Required) The ID of the Load Balancer in which to create the Rule.
  • frontend_ip_configuration_name - (Required) The name of the frontend IP configuration to which the rule is associated.
  • protocol - (Required) The transport protocol for the external endpoint. Possible values are Tcp, Udp or All.
  • frontend_port - (Required) The port for the external endpoint. Port numbers for each Rule must be unique within the Load Balancer. Possible values range between 0 and 65534, inclusive.
  • backend_port - (Required) The port used for internal connections on the endpoint. Possible values range between 0 and 65535, inclusive.
  • backend_address_pool_id - (Optional) A reference to a Backend Address Pool over which this Load Balancing Rule operates.
  • probe_id - (Optional) A reference to a Probe used by this Load Balancing Rule.
  • enable_floating_ip - (Optional) Floating IP is pertinent to failover scenarios: a "floating” IP is reassigned to a secondary server in case the primary server fails. Floating IP is required for SQL AlwaysOn.
  • idle_timeout_in_minutes - (Optional) Specifies the timeout for the Tcp idle connection. The value can be set between 4 and 30 minutes. The default value is 4 minutes. This element is only used when the protocol is set to Tcp.
  • load_distribution - (Optional) Specifies the load balancing distribution type to be used by the Load Balancer. Possible values are: Default – The load balancer is configured to use a 5 tuple hash to map traffic to available servers. SourceIP – The load balancer is configured to use a 2 tuple hash to map traffic to available servers. SourceIPProtocol – The load balancer is configured to use a 3 tuple hash to map traffic to available servers. Also known as Session Persistence, where the options are called None, Client IP and Client IP and Protocol respectively.

» Attributes Reference

The following attributes are exported:

  • id - The ID of the Load Balancer to which the resource is attached.

» Import

Load Balancer Rules can be imported using the resource id, e.g.

terraform import azurerm_lb_rule.test /subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/group1/providers/Microsoft.Network/loadBalancers/lb1/loadBalancingRules/rule1
