Hi,

In Azure portal, when I created Load Balancer, in the Backend Pool section, I had associated an availability set. From the availability set, I was able to add the VMs configured in that availability set to the Load balancer created.

In Ansible module azure\_rm\_loadbalancer,  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/modules/azure\_rm\_loadbalancer\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/modules/azure_rm_loadbalancer_module.html)  
I am seeing only “name” under “backend\_availability\_pools” and no other options. So wanted to know how the VMs or availability set is associated with the Load balancer ? Or does it just go by the “resource\_group” option provided by taking the VMs created in that “resource\_group” name or we need to configure the VMs through some other parameter ? Please provide pointers.

Thanks.
