# What is load balancing and content delivery?

12

-
Load balancing and content delivery are critical components in optimizing the performance and reliability of web applications. Load balancing ensures that incoming network traffic is distributed evenly across multiple servers or services, preventing any single server from becoming overwhelmed with requests. And content delivery optimizes the delivery of content to users by caching and distributing it across multiple locations, reducing latency and improving performance. Together, these two concepts help ensure that applications are highly available, responsive, and capable of handling varying levels of traffic.

[Azure Load Balancer](/azure/load-balancer/load-balancer-overview) is a high-performance, ultra-low-latency Layer 4 load-balancing service (inbound and outbound) for all UDP and TCP protocols. It's built to handle millions of requests per second while ensuring your solution is highly available. Load Balancer is zone redundant, ensuring high availability across availability zones. It supports both a regional deployment topology and a [global topology](/azure/load-balancer/cross-region-overview).
