Sorry, didn't understand the question completely. But if you are planning to create, manage multiple VMs, have a look at VM scale sets https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/overview
If you want to create redundancy at least two VMs networked with a load balancer is the recommended solution. Some links here:
