Use this command to add a Forwarding Rule Target in a specified Network Load Balancer Forwarding Rule. You can also set Health Check Settings for Forwarding Rule Target. The Check parameter for Health Check Settings specifies whether the target VM's health is checked. If turned off, a target VM is always considered available. If turned on, the target VM is available when accepting periodic TCP connections, to ensure that it is really able to serve requests. The address and port to send the tests to are those of the target VM. The health check only consists of a connection attempt.
Regarding the Weight parameter, this parameter is used to adjust the target VM's weight relative to other target VMs. All target VMs will receive a load proportional to their weight relative to the sum of all weights, so the higher the weight, the higher the load. The default weight is 1, and the maximal value is 256. A value of 0 means the target VM will not participate in load-balancing but will still accept persistent connections. If this parameter is used to distribute the load according to target VM's capacity, it is recommended to start with values which can both grow and shrink, for instance between 10 and 100 to leave enough room above and below for later adjustments.
You can wait for the Request to be executed using --wait-for-request option.
