Introduction
Azure provides load balancing tools to support consistency of access. Load balancing is the process of distributing network traffic across multiple servers. This distribution ensures no single server bears too much demand. Load balancing improves application responsiveness and increases availability of applications and services for users. Load balancers also have other capabilities including application security. Azure network engineers implement load balancing solutions.
