Configure Load Balancers for Component Machines
A tenant administrator or business group manager can configure a load balancer for a multi-machine
component blueprint. All machines provisioned from the component blueprint are added as members of
the load balancer.
When you configure a load balancer, you specify a network adapter and select an external, private, NAT,
or Routed network profile for the virtual IP address. The network profile you select for the virtual IP
address must be the same one that the network adapter uses.
