Choosing an optimal load-balancing and application delivery solution

The Azure load-balancing decision tree takes into account various factors when selecting the appropriate load-balancing options. The Help me choose default tab in Azure load balancing considers the following factors:

  • Traffic type: Is the application web-based (HTTP/HTTPS)? Is it a public or private application?
  • Global versus regional: Do you need to load balance VMs or containers within a VNet? Or do you need to load balance scale units/deployments across different regions, or both?
  • Availability: What is the required SLA for the application?
  • Cost: In addition to the cost of the load-balancing service itself, consider the cost of managing a solution built on that service.
  • Features and limitations: What are the overall limitations of each load-balancing service? Refer to the service limits to identify the constraints.
