+Azure Load Balancer supports both internal and external load balancing, and you can configure it to use a *Standard SKU* for zone-redundant load balancing. The Standard SKU is the default SKU in AKS, and it supports regional resiliency with [availability zones](../reliability/reliability-load-balancer.md#availability-zone-support) to ensure your application isn't impacted by a region failure. In the event of a zone failure scenario, a zone-redundant Standard SKU load balancer isn't impacted by the failure and enables your deployments to continue serving traffic from the remaining zones. You can use a global load balancer, such as [Front Door](../frontdoor/front-door-overview.md) or [Traffic Manager](../traffic-manager/traffic-manager-overview.md), or you can use [cross-region load balancers](../reliability/reliability-load-balancer.md#cross-region-disaster-recovery-and-business-continuity) in front of your regional AKS clusters to ensure that your application isn't impacted by regional failures. To create a Standard SKU load balancer in AKS, see [Use a standard load balancer in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)](./load-balancer-standard.md).
