Local traffic management (LTM) enables you to load balance traffic between servers within a data center ([endpoint steering](/load-balancing/understand-basics/traffic-steering/origin-level-steering/)) and between private applications. This helps you eliminate the need for hardware appliances and facilitates the migration of your infrastructure to the cloud, providing advantages such as elastic scalability and enhanced reliability.

2. Next, create an Account Load Balancer by sending a `POST` request to the following API endpoint. The request body should be structured similarly to a Zone Load Balancer. Refer to the [Cloudflare API documentation](/api/operations/load-balancers-create-load-balancer#request-body) for details on the required fields and their formats. Make sure that the pools you are using in your load balancer have the default VNET configured (previous step).
