## Load balancer types
17+
18+
An Azure load balancer is available with two types:
19+
20+
A **[public load balancer](../components.md#frontend-ip-configurations)** can provide outbound connections for virtual machines (VMs) inside your virtual network. These connections are accomplished by translating their private IP addresses to public IP addresses. Public Load Balancers are used to load balance internet traffic to your VMs.
21+
22+
An **[internal (or private) load balancer](../components.md#frontend-ip-configurations)** is used where private IPs are needed at the frontend only. Internal load balancers are used to load balance traffic inside a virtual network. A load balancer frontend can be accessed from an on-premises network in a hybrid scenario.
