Hi there,
We understand that we need to upgrade the load balancer and public IP from Basic to Standard SKU.
Our setup with VMSS currently hosts 5 nodes for the Fabfic Cluster Service. Additionally, the production system is a high-availability application, so ideally, we would prefer to avoid any downtime.
I watched the video demonstrating scenarios where the upgrade was performed. I tested the process in our staging environment, and it resulted in over 15 minutes of system downtime.
The video mentioned that no downtime could be achieved by adding a new node type, but it didn’t provide further explanation or a demo. Would it be possible to create a detailed guide and demo video to help us successfully execute this upgrade for a production environment?
Thank you!

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform.
Make sure you must the have backup before starting the activity
The upgrade normally takes a few minutes for the script to finish. The following factors may lead to longer upgrade times:
- Complexity of your load balancer configuration
- Number of backend pool members
- Instance count of associated Virtual Machine Scale Sets or Virtual Machines.
The Basic Load Balancer needs to be removed before the new Standard Load Balancer can be created, there will be downtime to your application.
Please find the below documentations for your reference:
I hope this helps!
