where is the zone of public load balancer

Question

Hi Teams!

I'd like to ask something about azure loadbalancer.

When creating a public load balancer, no zones are selected separately.

But in reality, load balancers will be deployed to physical data centers.

which zone will it be deployed?

Hi Jenny ,

When creating a Public Load Balancer, no specific availability zones are selected during deployment.
In reality, the load balancer is deployed across multiple physical data centers within the selected region.

Deployment Behavior based on creation:

• If the load balancer is regional (default setting), it is a zonal-redundant service, meaning it is automatically distributed across all availability zones within the region to ensure high availability.
• If you explicitly create a zone-specific load balancer, it will be deployed in the selected zone only.

Please do let me know if this clarified your question and also don't forget to accept the answer if its useful .
