When you work with virtual machine scale sets and Azure Load Balancer, consider the following guidelines.
After the scale set has been created, the back-end port can't be modified for a load-balancing rule used by a health probe of the load balancer. To change the port, remove the health probe by updating the virtual machine scale set and updating the port. Then configure the health probe again.
When you use the virtual machine scale set in the back-end pool of the load balancer, the default inbound NAT rules are created automatically.
Each virtual machine scale set must have at least one inbound NAT pool. An inbound NAT pool is a collection of inbound NAT rules. One inbound NAT pool can't support multiple virtual machine scale sets.
When you use the virtual machine scale set in the back-end pool of the load balancer, the default load-balancing rule is created automatically.
When virtual machine scale sets with public IPs per instance are created with a load balancer in front, the SKU of the instance IPs is determined by the SKU of the Load Balancer (i.e. Basic or Standard). Note that when using a Standard Load Balancer, the individual instance IPs are all of type Standard "no-zone" (though the Load Balancer frontend could be zonal or zone-redundant).
To create an outbound rule for a back-end pool that's already referenced by a load-balancing rule, select No under Create implicit outbound rules in the Azure portal when the inbound load-balancing rule is created.

Use the following methods to deploy a virtual machine scale set with an existing instance of Load Balancer:
- Configure a virtual machine scale set with an existing instance of Azure Load Balancer using the Azure portal
- Configure a virtual machine scale set with an existing instance of Azure Load Balancer using Azure PowerShell
- Configure a virtual machine scale set with an existing instance of Azure Load Balancer using the Azure CLI
- Update or delete an existing instance of Azure Load Balancer used by a virtual machine scale set
