Azure load balancing services

Azure offers several services for load balancing. Microsoft views these services as being separated by web-type workloads (HTTP(S)-type traffic) and by global and regional delivery.

Regional services

Regional services are designed to distribute traffic within Azure virtual networks (VNets) and services within a single region. Typically, these would be used for virtual machines (VMs) and containers.

Global services

Global services are designed to distribute traffic across different regions. This can also be used to extend services beyond the Azure cloud into other clouds or on-premises environments. They also include features for better system performance on a global scale by creating distributed workloads that can cater to specific regional requirements. Typically, these would be used for global web services that require local regional services and HA.
