What are the types of load balancer in Azure?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 11:37 am

There are three types of load balancer in Azure:

Round-robin load balancer

Hollow-round-robin load balancer

Weighted round-robin load balancer

A round-robin load balancer distributes traffic evenly across a group of servers. This type of load balancer is the most common and is typically used to distribute traffic among multiple web servers.

PRO TIP: This question is too general and could lead to many different answers. Please be more specific in your question.

Round-robin load balancer can also be used to distribute traffic among multiple applications.

A hollow-round-robin load balancer distributes traffic among servers in a round-robin fashion, but does not allow traffic to pass from one server to another. This type of load balancer is used to distribute traffic among a group of servers that are not all physically located in the same location.

A weighted round-robin load balancer balances traffic among a group of servers based on the load that each server is carrying. This type of load balancer is used to distribute traffic among a group of servers that have different levels of load.
