Optionally, it should be able to perform caching at the edge. Health probing is required so that the load balancer can check the health of the origin before routing traffic. The global state of the infrastructure is stored in the global resources.Ī global load balancer is required to route traffic to healthy stamps and provide security services. The architecture is intentional in defining the regional stamps as short-lived. Virtual network peerings or VPN connections to other stamps aren't required. The stamps follow an isolated virtual network design.


The ability to quickly deploy a new stamp provides scalability and supports high availability. The regional stamps are the deployable unit in the architecture. The global load balancer combined with regional stamps provides that guarantee through reliable connectivity.

The regional distribution of resources in the mission-critical reference architecture requires a robust network infrastructure.Ī globally distributed design is recommended where Azure services come together to provide a highly available application.
