I found the below article to create a virtual machine and load balance with an existing virtual machine.

https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/windows/common-tasks/how-to-load-balance-virtual-machines/?_sm_au_=iVVNR02FVsMFjVB3

But how can the same be done via Service Management API.

The related tags i found in the POST request to create a VM are ,

LoadBalancedEndpointSetName, LoadBalancerProbe

Where do I get started ? How do i connect two virtual machine via API ?

Thanks.

    The following is from a post on Virtual Machines by Michael Washam, however the idea is the same for teh Windows Azure SErvice management REST API:

    A load balanced set is simply configuring the same endpoint on
    multiple VMs and setting another property called the
    “LoadBalancedEndpointSetName (or LBSetName in PowerShell) with a
    common name to group the endpoints together. This functionality is
    abstracted away within the Windows Azure management portal but it is
    good to go into in detail because from the command line you can have
    much more control over the load balancer by using custom health
    probes.

    As Michael Washam points out you just need to use the same endpoint for the two Virtual Machines and provide the same LoadBalancedEndpointSetName to the Create Virtual Machine Deployment operation.
